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

All of them are on the Australian Government's list of Medicare-eligible MRI locations (last updated 17 February 2026), so a Medicare rebate is possible for scans done there. Whether your scan attracts one depends on the item your referral asks for and on who wrote it — GPs can request a limited set of MRI items and specialists can request more.

What Gatton 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 Gatton has.

For scale, 216 of the 1062 towns we hold in QLD sit further from MRI than Gatton does.

Across Queensland, 140 practices are accredited for MRI and 71 of those are outside the capital. That is the arithmetic behind the distance above — MRI is not spread evenly, and Gatton sits in one of the gaps.

Current Medicare accreditation runs: Queensland X-Ray St Vincent’s Private Hospital Toowoomba to 31 July 2027, Darling Downs Radiology to 31 October 2027 and Queensland X-Ray South Toowoomba 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. A phone call before you travel is worth it: a practice can be accredited for a scan and still not run it daily.
