For scale, 38 of the 1544 towns we hold in NSW sit further from nuclear medicine than Kosciuszko National Park does.

116 km is a real trip, not a detail. Before you drive it, it is worth asking two things: whether you qualify for your state's patient travel assistance scheme, which exists for exactly this, and whether anything closer runs a visiting service — some regional hospitals do, on a roster we cannot see in the register.

Across New South Wales, 103 practices are accredited for nuclear medicine and 42 of those are outside the capital. That is the arithmetic behind the distance above — nuclear medicine is not spread evenly, and Kosciuszko National Park sits in one of the gaps.

The register has these accreditations running to: I-MED Radiology Woden to 30 June 2027, Canberra Imaging Group Garran to 31 May 2027 and The Canberra Hospital Medical Imaging to 31 May 2027. We drop a modality the day its accreditation lapses, so if it is listed above it is current.

Of the five practices listed, all publish a phone number, all have a website and three list opening hours. A phone call before you travel is worth it: a practice can be accredited for a scan and still not run it daily.

scanfinder shows you where imaging is available. Your doctor decides which scan you need — you'll need a referral for all of these.

About nuclear medicine. Nuclear medicine uses a small amount of a radioactive tracer, so it needs a licensed department rather than a general imaging room. Accreditation means a practice meets the Medicare requirements for it — it is not a ranking, and we publish no ratings. Distances are straight-line from the centre of the town, so the drive is a little longer.
