About these results
If you need PET, it will not be in Childers — nothing here is accredited for it. The closest is I-MED Radiology Bundaberg, 41 km away in Bundaberg. After that, the options are Wide Bay Nuclear Medicine - Hervey Bay in Pialba (57 km) and Noosa Radiology in Noosaville (151 km).
Eight practices within 200 km of Childers are accredited for PET in total; the five above are the closest by straight-line distance from the centre of town.
What Childers does have locally is x-ray, ultrasound and CT. If your referral is for one of those, you do not need to leave town — see everything Childers has.
For scale, 231 of the 1062 towns we hold in QLD sit further from PET than Childers does.
Across Queensland, 37 practices are accredited for PET and 23 of those are outside the capital. That is the arithmetic behind the distance above — PET is not spread evenly, and Childers sits in one of the gaps.
Current Medicare accreditation runs: I-MED Radiology Bundaberg to 30 June 2027, Wide Bay Nuclear Medicine - Hervey Bay to 30 June 2027 and Noosa Radiology to 31 August 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 one lists opening hours. Ring before you go rather than assuming — hours move, and not every accredited scan runs every day.
scanfinder shows you where imaging is available. Your doctor decides which scan you need — you'll need a referral for all of these.
About PET. A PET scan is the scarcest scan in Australia — the scanners sit almost entirely in capital cities and a handful of large regional hospitals. Accreditation means a practice meets the Medicare requirements for it — it is not a ranking, and we publish no ratings. Distances are straight-line from the centre of the town, so the drive is a little longer.
