There are six PET practices within 200 km of Clare altogether — the five listed are simply the nearest.

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

For scale, 118 of the 515 towns we hold in SA sit further from PET than Clare does.

There is no way around the distance: 102 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 Clare visits on a roster. The register cannot show us visiting services.

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 Clare sits in one of the gaps.

Accreditation windows: Radiology SA Elizabeth Vale to 31 May 2027, Benson Radiology North Adelaide to 31 July 2027 and Royal Adelaide Hospital SAMI site to 31 August 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.
