Nuclear medicine near Bordertown, SA

Bordertown does not have a nuclear medicine service. The nearest one is at Benson Radiology Mount Gambier Crouch Street North in Mount Gambier, about 168 km away, roughly 2 hr 21 min by road. It is the only nuclear medicine service within 200 km of Bordertown.

Bordertown 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 Benairnco Pty Ltd — Keith in Keith, 45 km away.

To put 168 km in context: of the 515 SA towns we hold, 29 are further than Bordertown from a nuclear medicine service. It is a real trip, and worth planning as one.

A 168 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 Bordertown — rosters like that do not appear in the accreditation 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 Bordertown sits in one of the gaps.

Accreditation windows: Benson Radiology Mount Gambier Crouch Street North to 31 July 2027. 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. A phone call before you travel is worth it: a practice can be accredited for a scan and still not run it daily.
