MRI near Quirindi, NSW

If you need MRI, it will not be in Quirindi — nothing here is accredited for it. The closest is Castlereagh Imaging Tamworth (now Hunter Imaging, Sonic Healthcare), 52 km away in Tamworth — about 57 minutes in the car. After that, the options are Alpenglow Tamworth Diagnostic Imaging in Tamworth (53 km) and Hunter New England Imaging - Tamworth Rural Referral Hospital in Tamworth (54 km).

Widen the search to 200 km and there are 26 MRI practices; the closest five are above.

All of them are on the Australian Government's list of Medicare-eligible MRI locations (last updated 17 February 2026), so a Medicare rebate is possible for scans done there. Whether your scan attracts one depends on the item your referral asks for and on who wrote it — GPs can request a limited set of MRI items and specialists can request more.

Quirindi has no accredited imaging practice of its own that we can see in the register, so any scan means travelling. The closest imaging of any kind is Alpenglow East Tamworth Diagnostic Imaging in Tamworth, 52 km away.

To put 52 km in context: of the 1544 NSW towns we hold, 110 are further than Quirindi from a MRI service. It is a real trip, and worth planning as one.

New South Wales has 204 MRI practices in total, 84 of them outside the capital. The machines cluster where the population is, which is why the nearest one to Quirindi is where it is.

Current Medicare accreditation runs: Castlereagh Imaging Tamworth (now Hunter Imaging, Sonic Healthcare) to 31 August 2027, Alpenglow Tamworth Diagnostic Imaging to 31 October 2027 and Hunter New England Imaging - Tamworth Rural Referral Hospital to 30 June 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.
