PET near Oberon, NSW

There is no PET scanner in Oberon. The nearest one is at Castlereagh Imaging Nepean Health Hub in Kingswood, about 79 km away, roughly 2 hr 17 min by road. After that, the options are Nepean Hospital Medical Imaging (NBMLHD) in Penrith (79 km) and Prp Diagnostic Imaging-Orange in Orange (85 km).

Widen the search to 200 km and there are 41 PET practices; the closest five are above.

Oberon is not without imaging — x-ray is available in town. The town page lists everything Oberon has.

To put 79 km in context: of the 1544 NSW towns we hold, 169 are further than Oberon from a PET service. It is a real trip, and worth planning as one.

Across New South Wales, 42 practices are accredited for PET and 19 of those are outside the capital. That is the arithmetic behind the distance above — PET is not spread evenly, and Oberon sits in one of the gaps.

The register has these accreditations running to: Castlereagh Imaging Nepean Health Hub to 31 July 2027, Nepean Hospital Medical Imaging (NBMLHD) to 31 October 2027 and Prp Diagnostic Imaging-Orange to 31 October 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. A phone call before you travel is worth it: a practice can be accredited for a scan and still not run it daily.
