To put 92 km in context: of the 1062 QLD towns we hold, 133 are further than Gladstone from a nuclear medicine service. It is a real trip, and worth planning as one.

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 Gladstone is where it is.

Current Medicare accreditation runs: I-MED Radiology Rockhampton to 30 June 2027, Central Queensland Radiology Rockhampton Hospital to 31 May 2027 and Wide Bay Nuclear Medicine - Bundaberg to 31 July 2027. We drop a modality the day its accreditation lapses, so if it is listed above it is current.

Of the four practices listed, all publish a phone number, all have a website and two 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.

scanfinder shows you where imaging is available. Your doctor decides which scan you need — you'll need a referral for all of these.

About nuclear medicine. Nuclear medicine uses a small amount of a radioactive tracer, so it needs a licensed department rather than a general imaging room. 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.
