PET near Kingscote, SA

If you need PET, it will not be in Kingscote — nothing here is accredited for it. The closest is Jones Radiology Kurralta Park, 115 km away in Kurralta Park. After that, the options are Benson Radiology City West in Adelaide (119 km) and Jones Radiology-Sahmri in Adelaide (119 km).

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

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

To put 115 km in context: of the 515 SA towns we hold, 116 are further than Kingscote from a PET service. It is a real trip, and worth planning as one.

There is no way around the distance: 115 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 Kingscote 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 Kingscote sits in one of the gaps.

Accreditation windows: Jones Radiology Kurralta Park to 30 June 2027, Benson Radiology City West to 30 September 2027 and Jones Radiology-Sahmri 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.
