MRI near Waikerie, SA

After that, the options are Benairnco Pty Ltd — Nuriootpa in Nuriootpa (97 km) and Benairnco Pty Ltd — Gawler South in Gawler South (123 km).

Widen the search to 200 km and there are 38 MRI practices; the closest five are above.

Sa Medical Imaging Berri, Benairnco Pty Ltd — Nuriootpa and Lyell McEwin Hospital SAMI site are on the Government's Medicare-eligible MRI list (last updated 17 February 2026); Benairnco Pty Ltd — Gawler South and Radiology SA Elizabeth Vale are accredited for MRI but not on that list, so a scan there may not attract a rebate.

Accreditation windows: Sa Medical Imaging Berri to 31 October 2026, Benairnco Pty Ltd — Nuriootpa to 30 June 2027 and Benairnco Pty Ltd — Gawler South to 30 November 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.
