Accreditation windows: Coonamble Hospital Radiology Department to 30 September 2027, Gilgandra Multi Purpose Health Service to 30 September 2027 and PRP Diagnostic Imaging Dubbo 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.
