MRI near Keith, SA

No practice in Keith is accredited for MRI. The nearest one is at Victor Radiology Centre in Victor Harbor, about 167 km away. After that, the options are Benson Radiology Mount Barker in Mount Barker (177 km) and Jones Radiology-Mt Barker Druids Avenue in Mount Barker (177 km).

Nine practices within 200 km of Keith are accredited for MRI in total; the five above are the closest by straight-line distance from the centre of town.

All of them are on the Australian Government's list of Medicare-eligible MRI locations (last updated 17 February 2026), so a Medicare rebate is possible for scans done there. Whether your scan attracts one depends on the item your referral asks for and on who wrote it — GPs can request a limited set of MRI items and specialists can request more.

Locally, Keith is covered for x-ray. A referral for that can be done here: everything Keith has.

For scale, 12 of the 515 towns we hold in SA sit further from MRI than Keith does.

167 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, 40 practices are accredited for MRI and 6 of those are outside the capital. That is the arithmetic behind the distance above — MRI is not spread evenly, and Keith sits in one of the gaps.

Accreditation windows: Victor Radiology Centre to 31 October 2027, Benson Radiology Mount Barker to 31 July 2027 and Jones Radiology-Mt Barker Druids Avenue to 31 October 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. Ring before you go rather than assuming — hours move, and not every accredited scan runs every day.
