PET near Westcourt, QLD

Westcourt does not have a PET scanner. The nearest one is at Queensland X-Ray St Andrew's Hospital Toowoomba in Rockville, about 195 km away. After that, the options are Queensland X-Ray South Toowoomba in South Toowoomba (198 km).

Westcourt 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 Surat Hospital in Surat, 114 km away.

To put 195 km in context: of the 1062 QLD towns we hold, 68 are further than Westcourt from a PET service. It is a real trip, and worth planning as one.

There is no way around the distance: 195 km each way. Before you commit to it, two things are worth a phone call — your state's patient travel assistance scheme, which exists for people in exactly this position, and whether any service closer to Westcourt visits on a roster. The register cannot show us visiting services.

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 Westcourt is where it is.

The register has these accreditations running to: Queensland X-Ray St Andrew's Hospital Toowoomba to 31 July 2027 and Queensland X-Ray South Toowoomba to 30 June 2027. We drop a modality the day its accreditation lapses, so if it is listed above it is current.

Of the two practices listed, all publish a phone number, all have a website and two list opening hours. Ring before you go rather than assuming — hours move, and not every accredited scan runs every day.
