For scale, 8 of the 1544 towns we hold in NSW sit further from ultrasound than Walgett does.

108 km is a real trip, not a detail. Before you drive it, it is worth asking two things: whether you qualify for your state's patient travel assistance scheme, which exists for exactly this, and whether anything closer runs a visiting service — some regional hospitals do, on a roster we cannot see in the register.

Across New South Wales, 523 practices are accredited for ultrasound and 218 of those are outside the capital. That is the arithmetic behind the distance above — ultrasound is not spread evenly, and Walgett sits in one of the gaps.

Accreditation windows: Coonamble Hospital Radiology Department to 30 September 2027, Hunter New England Imaging - Narrabri District Hospital to 31 October 2027 and Lumus Imaging Moree District Hospital to 31 October 2026. We drop a modality the day its accreditation lapses, so if it is listed above it is current.

Of the four practices listed, all publish a phone number, all have a website and one lists 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.
