Nuclear medicine near Clare, SA

If you need nuclear medicine, it will not be in Clare — nothing here is accredited for it. The nearest one is at Radiology SA Elizabeth Vale in Elizabeth Vale, about 102 km away, roughly 1 hr 33 min by road. After that, the options are Radiology SA Elizabeth Vale in Elizabeth Vale (103 km) and Benson Radiology Salisbury in Salisbury (104 km).

18 practices within 200 km of Clare are accredited for nuclear medicine in total; the five above are the closest by straight-line distance from the centre of town.

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

For scale, 60 of the 515 towns we hold in SA sit further from nuclear medicine than Clare does.

That is a long way to go for a scan, and there is no way to make 102 km shorter. Two things are worth knowing: every state and territory runs a patient travel assistance scheme for people who have to travel for care, and the local health service or your referring doctor can tell you whether you qualify. Some regional hospitals also run visiting services on a roster, which the accreditation register cannot show us — worth one phone call before you plan the trip.

South Australia has 19 nuclear medicine practices in total, 2 of them outside the capital. The machines cluster where the population is, which is why the nearest one to Clare is where it is.

Accreditation windows: Radiology SA Elizabeth Vale to 31 May 2027, Radiology SA Elizabeth Vale to 30 June 2027 and Benson Radiology Salisbury 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 none publishes opening hours we could confirm. Ring before you go rather than assuming — hours move, and not every accredited scan runs every day.
