Nuclear medicine near Palm Island, QLD

If you need nuclear medicine, it will not be in Palm Island — nothing here is accredited for it. The closest is Queensland X-Ray Mater Hyde Park, 64 km away in Hyde Park — about about 11 hours in the car. After that, the options are Queensland X-Ray Mater Pimlico in Pimlico (65 km) and North Queensland X-Ray Services (Aitkenvale/Townsville) in Aitkenvale (66 km).

What Palm Island does have locally is x-ray and ultrasound. If your referral is for one of those, you do not need to leave town — see everything Palm Island has.

For scale, 180 of the 1062 towns we hold in QLD sit further from nuclear medicine than Palm Island does.

Across Queensland, 82 practices are accredited for nuclear medicine and 45 of those are outside the capital. That is the arithmetic behind the distance above — nuclear medicine is not spread evenly, and Palm Island sits in one of the gaps.

Current Medicare accreditation runs: Queensland X-Ray Mater Hyde Park to 30 June 2027, Queensland X-Ray Mater Pimlico to 30 June 2027 and North Queensland X-Ray Services (Aitkenvale/Townsville) to 30 November 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 one lists 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.
