PET near Theodore, QLD

Locally, Theodore is covered for x-ray and ultrasound. A referral for one of those can be done here: everything Theodore has.

For scale, 74 of the 1062 towns we hold in QLD sit further from PET than Theodore does.

A 177 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 Theodore — rosters like that do not appear in the accreditation register.

Queensland has 37 PET practices in total, 23 of them outside the capital. The machines cluster where the population is, which is why the nearest one to Theodore is where it is.

Accreditation windows: I-MED Radiology Mater Private Hospital Rockhampton to 30 November 2026. We drop a modality the day its accreditation lapses, so if it is listed above it is current.

Of the one practice listed, all publish a phone number, all have a website and none publishes opening hours we could confirm. Ring before you go rather than assuming — hours move, and not every accredited scan runs every day.
