Nuclear medicine near Keith, SA

If you need nuclear medicine, it will not be in Keith — nothing here is accredited for it. The closest is Benson Radiology Mount Gambier Crouch Street North, 194 km away in Mount Gambier. After that, the options are Benson Radiology Morphett Vale in Morphett Vale (198 km) and Jones Radiology Southern Specialist Centre in Morphett Vale (198 km).

What Keith does have locally is x-ray. If your referral is for that, you do not need to leave town — see everything Keith has.

For scale, 27 of the 515 towns we hold in SA sit further from nuclear medicine than Keith does.

That is a long way to go for a scan, and there is no way to make 194 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 Keith is where it is.

Current Medicare accreditation runs: Benson Radiology Mount Gambier Crouch Street North to 31 July 2027, Benson Radiology Morphett Vale to 30 June 2027 and Jones Radiology Southern Specialist Centre to 31 October 2027. We drop a modality the day its accreditation lapses, so if it is listed above it is current.

Of the three 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.
