MRI near South West Rocks, NSW

South West Rocks has no MRI of its own. The closest is Kare Radiology Pty Ltd, 59 km away in Toormina — about 79 minutes in the car. After that, the options are I-MED Radiology Port Macquarie Lord Street in Port Macquarie (62 km) and Coffs Harbour Health Campus in Coffs Harbour (63 km).

There are twelve MRI practices within 200 km of South West Rocks altogether — the five listed are simply the nearest.

The eligible ones are I-MED Radiology Port Macquarie Lord Street, Coffs Harbour Health Campus and I-MED Radiology Port Macquarie — they appear on the Government's Medicare-eligible MRI list (last updated 17 February 2026). Kare Radiology Pty Ltd runs an accredited MRI unit that is not on the list, so ask what an MRI there would cost you.

South West Rocks 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 Macksville District Hospital in Macksville, 23 km away.

To put 59 km in context: of the 1544 NSW towns we hold, 91 are further than South West Rocks from a MRI service. It is a real trip, and worth planning as one.

Across New South Wales, 204 practices are accredited for MRI and 84 of those are outside the capital. That is the arithmetic behind the distance above — MRI is not spread evenly, and South West Rocks sits in one of the gaps.

The register has these accreditations running to: Kare Radiology Pty Ltd to 30 September 2027, I-MED Radiology Port Macquarie Lord Street to 30 November 2026 and Coffs Harbour Health Campus to 31 August 2026. 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.
