MRI near Moura, QLD

Moura has no MRI of its own. The closest is I-MED Radiology Rockhampton, 141 km away in The Range — about 2 hr 18 min in the car. After that, the options are Central Queensland Radiology Rockhampton Hospital in Rockhampton (143 km) and Rockhampton in Park Avenue (146 km).

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.

Locally, Moura is covered for x-ray. A referral for that can be done here: everything Moura has.

To put 141 km in context: of the 1062 QLD towns we hold, 52 are further than Moura from a MRI service. It is a real trip, and worth planning as one.

A 141 km trip is a day out of your life, not an errand. Ask your referring doctor about the patient travel assistance scheme in your state, and ask the nearest hospital whether a visiting service ever covers Moura — rosters like that do not appear in the accreditation register.

Queensland has 140 MRI practices in total, 71 of them outside the capital. The machines cluster where the population is, which is why the nearest one to Moura is where it is.

Accreditation windows: I-MED Radiology Rockhampton to 30 June 2027, Central Queensland Radiology Rockhampton Hospital to 31 May 2027 and Rockhampton 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 two list opening hours. Ring before you go rather than assuming — hours move, and not every accredited scan runs every day.
