If you need PET, it will not be in Peterborough — nothing here is accredited for it. The closest is Radiology SA Elizabeth Vale, 198 km away in Elizabeth Vale. It is the only PET service within 200 km of Peterborough.

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

To put 198 km in context: of the 515 SA towns we hold, 83 are further than Peterborough from a PET service. It is a real trip, and worth planning as one.

There is no way around the distance: 198 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 Peterborough 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 Peterborough sits in one of the gaps.

Current Medicare accreditation runs: Radiology SA Elizabeth Vale to 31 May 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.
