Current Medicare accreditation runs: Castlereagh Imaging Tamworth (now Hunter Imaging, Sonic Healthcare) to 31 August 2027, I-MED Radiology Armidale to 31 July 2027 and PRP Diagnostic Imaging Maitland to 30 November 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. A phone call before you travel is worth it: a practice can be accredited for a scan and still not run it daily.
