To put 142 km in context: of the 515 SA towns we hold, 39 are further than Berri from a nuclear medicine service. It is a real trip, and worth planning as one.

142 km is a real trip, not a detail. Before you drive it, it is worth asking two things: whether you qualify for your state's patient travel assistance scheme, which exists for exactly this, and whether anything closer runs a visiting service — some regional hospitals do, on a roster we cannot see in the register.

Across South Australia, 19 practices are accredited for nuclear medicine and 2 of those are outside the capital. That is the arithmetic behind the distance above — nuclear medicine is not spread evenly, and Berri sits in one of the gaps.

Current Medicare accreditation runs: I-MED Radiology Mildura Base Hospital to 30 September 2027, Radiology SA Elizabeth Vale to 31 May 2027 and Benson Radiology Modbury Hospital to 31 July 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. A phone call before you travel is worth it: a practice can be accredited for a scan and still not run it daily.
