PET near Wauchope, NSW

Wauchope does not have a PET scanner. The nearest one is at Lumus Imaging Highfields in Port Macquarie, about 14 km away, roughly 16 minutes by road. After that, the options are I-MED Radiology Coffs Harbour Specialist Medical Centre in Coffs Harbour (132 km) and Hunter New England Imaging - Tamworth Rural Referral Hospital in Tamworth (176 km).

Eight practices within 200 km of Wauchope are accredited for PET in total; the five above are the closest by straight-line distance from the centre of town.

Wauchope is not without imaging — x-ray is available in town. The town page lists everything Wauchope has.

To put 14 km in context: of the 1544 NSW towns we hold, 556 are further than Wauchope from a PET service. It is a real trip, and worth planning as one.

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 Wauchope sits in one of the gaps.

The register has these accreditations running to: Lumus Imaging Highfields to 31 March 2027, I-MED Radiology Coffs Harbour Specialist Medical Centre to 31 August 2027 and Hunter New England Imaging - Tamworth Rural Referral Hospital 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. Ring before you go rather than assuming — hours move, and not every accredited scan runs every day.
