Current Medicare accreditation runs: I-MED Radiology Coffs Harbour Specialist Medical Centre to 31 August 2027, Grafton Nuclear Medicine & Endocrinology to 31 August 2027 and North Coast Radiology Lismore (St Vincent's 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 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.
