Nuclear medicine near Tenterfield, NSW

Tenterfield has no nuclear medicine of its own. The nearest one is at Grafton Nuclear Medicine & Endocrinology in Grafton, about 114 km away, roughly 2 hr 46 min by road. After that, the options are North Coast Radiology Lismore (St Vincent's Hospital) in Lismore (126 km) and Lismore Base Hospital/Medical Imaging Dept in Lismore (127 km).

Widen the search to 200 km and there are 40 nuclear medicine practices; the closest five are above.

Locally, Tenterfield is covered for x-ray. A referral for that can be done here: everything Tenterfield has.

To put 114 km in context: of the 1544 NSW towns we hold, 42 are further than Tenterfield from a nuclear medicine service. It is a real trip, and worth planning as one.

A 114 km trip is a day out of your life, not an errand. Ask your referring doctor about the patient travel assistance scheme in your state, and ask the nearest hospital whether a visiting service ever covers Tenterfield — rosters like that do not appear in the accreditation register.

Across New South Wales, 103 practices are accredited for nuclear medicine and 42 of those are outside the capital. That is the arithmetic behind the distance above — nuclear medicine is not spread evenly, and Tenterfield sits in one of the gaps.

Accreditation windows: Grafton Nuclear Medicine & Endocrinology to 31 August 2027, North Coast Radiology Lismore (St Vincent's Hospital) to 30 June 2027 and Lismore Base Hospital/Medical Imaging Dept to 31 October 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.
