Widen the search to 200 km and there are 149 MRI practices; the closest five are above.

Hunter New England Imaging - Calvary Mater Newcastle (Waratah), PRP Diagnostic Imaging Salamander Bay and Hunter Imaging Salamander Bay are on the Government's Medicare-eligible MRI list (last updated 17 February 2026); Clarity Imaging and Hunter Imaging Newcastle are accredited for MRI but not on that list, so a scan there may not attract a rebate.

Within 10 km of Medowie, accredited imaging covers x-ray, ultrasound and CT. If your referral is for one of those, see everything Medowie has for the nearby options and their exact addresses.

For scale, 273 of the 1544 towns we hold in NSW sit further from MRI than Medowie does.

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 Medowie sits in one of the gaps.

Current Medicare accreditation runs: Clarity Imaging to 30 June 2027, Hunter New England Imaging - Calvary Mater Newcastle (Waratah) to 31 October 2027 and PRP Diagnostic Imaging Salamander Bay 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. Ring before you go rather than assuming — hours move, and not every accredited scan runs every day.
