A 136 km trip is a day out of your life, not an errand. Ask your referring doctor about the patient travel assistance scheme in your state, and ask the nearest hospital whether a visiting service ever covers Waikerie — rosters like that do not appear in the accreditation register.

Across South Australia, 19 practices are accredited for nuclear medicine and 2 of those are outside the capital. That is the arithmetic behind the distance above — nuclear medicine is not spread evenly, and Waikerie sits in one of the gaps.

Accreditation windows: Radiology SA Elizabeth Vale to 31 May 2027, Radiology SA Elizabeth Vale to 30 June 2027 and Benson Radiology Salisbury to 31 July 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.
