Ultrasound near Port Douglas, QLD

If you need ultrasound, it will not be in Port Douglas — nothing here is accredited for it. The nearest one is at Radiology Service, Mossman Multi Purpose Health Service in Mossman, about 11 km away, roughly 21 minutes by road. After that, the options are North Queensland X-Ray Services (Smithfield,Cairns) in Smithfield (45 km) and Queensland X-Ray Smithfield in Smithfield (46 km).

There are 23 ultrasound practices within 200 km of Port Douglas altogether — the five listed are simply the nearest.

Port Douglas has no accredited imaging practice of its own that we can see in the register, so any scan means travelling. The closest imaging of any kind is Radiology Service, Mossman Multi Purpose Health Service in Mossman, 11 km away.

To put 11 km in context: of the 1062 QLD towns we hold, 216 are further than Port Douglas from a ultrasound service. It is a real trip, and worth planning as one.

Across Queensland, 376 practices are accredited for ultrasound and 214 of those are outside the capital. That is the arithmetic behind the distance above — ultrasound is not spread evenly, and Port Douglas sits in one of the gaps.

Accreditation windows: Radiology Service, Mossman Multi Purpose Health Service to 31 August 2027, North Queensland X-Ray Services (Smithfield,Cairns) to 31 May 2027 and Queensland X-Ray Smithfield to 31 October 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.
