For scale, 209 of the 1544 towns we hold in NSW sit further from PET than Taree does.

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 Taree sits in one of the gaps.

Current Medicare accreditation runs: Lumus Imaging Highfields to 31 March 2027, PRP Diagnostic Imaging East Maitland to 30 November 2027 and Hunter Imaging Metford to 31 July 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. Ring before you go rather than assuming — hours move, and not every accredited scan runs every day.
