To put 102 km in context: of the 515 SA towns we hold, 59 are further than Orroroo from a nuclear medicine service. It is a real trip, and worth planning as one.

102 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.

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 Orroroo is where it is.

The register has these accreditations running to: Jones Radiology-Whyalla to 31 October 2027. We drop a modality the day its accreditation lapses, so if it is listed above it is current.

Of the one practice 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.
