For scale, 105 of the 1062 towns we hold in QLD sit further from nuclear medicine than Cannonvale does.

106 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 82 nuclear medicine practices in total, 45 of them outside the capital. The machines cluster where the population is, which is why the nearest one to Cannonvale is where it is.

The register has these accreditations running to: Qscan Mackay to 31 October 2027, Mackay Radiology to 30 November 2027 and Queensland X-Ray Pty Ltd to 30 June 2027. We drop a modality the day its accreditation lapses, so if it is listed above it is current.

Of the three practices listed, all publish a phone number, all have a website and none publishes opening hours we could confirm. Ring before you go rather than assuming — hours move, and not every accredited scan runs every day.
