Current Medicare accreditation runs: Castlereagh Imaging Nepean Health Hub to 31 July 2027, Nepean Hospital Medical Imaging (NBMLHD) to 31 October 2027 and PRP Diagnostic Imaging Blacktown (Panorama Parade) 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 one lists opening hours. Ring before you go rather than assuming — hours move, and not every accredited scan runs every day.
