MRI near Tannum Sands, QLD

If you need MRI, it will not be in Tannum Sands — nothing here is accredited for it. The nearest one is at Central Queensland Radiology Gladstone in West Gladstone, about 16 km away, roughly 28 minutes by road. After that, the options are I-MED Radiology Gladstone in Gladstone (16 km) and I-MED Radiology Rockhampton in The Range (108 km).

Widen the search to 200 km and there are eight MRI practices; the closest five are above.

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.

Within 10 km of Tannum Sands, accredited imaging covers ultrasound and CT. If your referral is for one of those, see everything Tannum Sands has for the nearby options and their exact addresses.

For scale, 304 of the 1062 towns we hold in QLD sit further from MRI than Tannum Sands does.

Across Queensland, 140 practices are accredited for MRI and 71 of those are outside the capital. That is the arithmetic behind the distance above — MRI is not spread evenly, and Tannum Sands sits in one of the gaps.

Current Medicare accreditation runs: Central Queensland Radiology Gladstone to 30 November 2026, I-MED Radiology Gladstone to 30 June 2027 and I-MED Radiology 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. A phone call before you travel is worth it: a practice can be accredited for a scan and still not run it daily.
