Current Medicare accreditation runs: Nepean Hospital Medical Imaging (NBMLHD) to 31 October 2027, Castlereagh Imaging Nepean Health Hub to 31 July 2027 and Lumus Imaging Macarthur 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 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.
