What Moranbah 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 Moranbah has.

To put 151 km in context: of the 1062 QLD towns we hold, 80 are further than Moranbah from a PET service. It is a real trip, and worth planning as one.

There is no way around the distance: 151 km each way. Before you commit to it, two things are worth a phone call — your state's patient travel assistance scheme, which exists for people in exactly this position, and whether any service closer to Moranbah visits on a roster. The register cannot show us visiting services.

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 Moranbah sits in one of the gaps.

Current Medicare accreditation runs: Qscan Mackay to 31 October 2027. We drop a modality the day its accreditation lapses, so if it is listed above it is current.

Of the one practice 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.
