183 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, 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 Port Pirie sits in one of the gaps.

The register has these accreditations running to: Radiology SA Elizabeth Vale to 31 May 2027, Benson Radiology North Adelaide to 31 July 2027 and Royal Adelaide Hospital SAMI site 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. Ring before you go rather than assuming — hours move, and not every accredited scan runs every day.
