MRI near Kurri Kurri, NSW

There is no MRI scanner in Kurri Kurri. The nearest one is at In Focus Radiology Cessnock in Cessnock, about 12 km away, roughly 18 minutes by road. After that, the options are PRP Diagnostic Imaging Maitland in Maitland (12 km) and Hunter Imaging Group — East Maitland in East Maitland (13 km).

Widen the search to 200 km and there are 155 MRI practices; the closest five are above.

The eligible ones are In Focus Radiology Cessnock, PRP Diagnostic Imaging Maitland and Hunter Imaging Metford — they appear on the Government's Medicare-eligible MRI list (last updated 17 February 2026). Hunter Imaging Group — East Maitland runs an accredited MRI unit that is not on the list, so ask what an MRI there would cost you.

Kurri Kurri has no accredited imaging practice of its own that we can see in the register, so any scan means travelling. The closest imaging of any kind is In Focus Radiology Cessnock in Cessnock, 12 km away.

To put 12 km in context: of the 1544 NSW towns we hold, 444 are further than Kurri Kurri from a MRI service. It is a real trip, and worth planning as one.

Across New South Wales, 204 practices are accredited for MRI and 84 of those are outside the capital. That is the arithmetic behind the distance above — MRI is not spread evenly, and Kurri Kurri sits in one of the gaps.

The register has these accreditations running to: In Focus Radiology Cessnock to 31 May 2027, PRP Diagnostic Imaging Maitland to 30 November 2027 and Hunter Imaging Group — East Maitland to 31 July 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 two 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.
