111 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.

Queensland has 37 PET practices in total, 23 of them outside the capital. The machines cluster where the population is, which is why the nearest one to Biloela is where it is.

Accreditation windows: I-MED Radiology Mater Private Hospital Rockhampton to 30 November 2026 and I-MED Radiology Bundaberg to 30 June 2027. We drop a modality the day its accreditation lapses, so if it is listed above it is current.

Of the two practices listed, all publish a phone number, all have a website and one lists opening hours. Ring before you go rather than assuming — hours move, and not every accredited scan runs every day.
