Accreditation windows: Hunter New England Imaging - Calvary Mater Newcastle (Nuclear Medicine & PET) to 30 November 2027, Prp Diagnostic Imaging Adamstown to 30 September 2028 and Hunter Imaging Metford 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 three list opening hours. Ring before you go rather than assuming — hours move, and not every accredited scan runs every day.
