Current Medicare accreditation runs: Queensland X-Ray South Toowoomba to 30 June 2027, Queensland X-Ray St Vincent’s Private Hospital Toowoomba to 31 July 2027 and Darling Downs Radiology 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 three 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.
