For scale, 86 of the 515 towns we hold in SA sit further from PET than Berri does.

184 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, 6 practices are accredited for PET and 0 of those are outside the capital. That is the arithmetic behind the distance above — PET is not spread evenly, and Berri sits in one of the gaps.

Current Medicare accreditation runs: Radiology SA Elizabeth Vale to 31 May 2027, Benson Radiology North Adelaide to 31 July 2027 and Benson Radiology City West to 30 September 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 none publishes opening hours we could confirm. A phone call before you travel is worth it: a practice can be accredited for a scan and still not run it daily.
