Gayndah is not without imaging — x-ray is available in town. The town page lists everything Gayndah has.

For scale, 99 of the 1062 towns we hold in QLD sit further from PET than Gayndah does.

That is a long way to go for a scan, and there is no way to make 112 km shorter. Two things are worth knowing: every state and territory runs a patient travel assistance scheme for people who have to travel for care, and the local health service or your referring doctor can tell you whether you qualify. Some regional hospitals also run visiting services on a roster, which the accreditation register cannot show us — worth one phone call before you plan the trip.

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 Gayndah is where it is.

The register has these accreditations running to: 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.
