Nuclear medicine near Nyngan, NSW

If you need nuclear medicine, it will not be in Nyngan — nothing here is accredited for it. The closest is PRP Diagnostic Imaging Dubbo, 153 km away in Dubbo — about 2 hr 03 min in the car. After that, the options are Lumus Imaging Dubbo in Dubbo (153 km) and Dubbo Base Hospital Radiology Department in Dubbo (154 km).

What Nyngan does have locally is x-ray. If your referral is for that, you do not need to leave town — see everything Nyngan has.

For scale, 22 of the 1544 towns we hold in NSW sit further from nuclear medicine than Nyngan does.

A 153 km trip is a day out of your life, not an errand. Ask your referring doctor about the patient travel assistance scheme in your state, and ask the nearest hospital whether a visiting service ever covers Nyngan — rosters like that do not appear in the accreditation 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 Nyngan sits in one of the gaps.

Current Medicare accreditation runs: PRP Diagnostic Imaging Dubbo to 31 May 2027, Lumus Imaging Dubbo to 30 November 2026 and Dubbo Base Hospital Radiology Department to 30 September 2027. We drop a modality the day its accreditation lapses, so if it is listed above it is current.

Of the three practices listed, all publish a phone number, all have a website and one lists 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.
