Waikerie is not without imaging — x-ray is available in town. The town page lists everything Waikerie has.

For scale, 106 of the 515 towns we hold in SA sit further from PET than Waikerie does.

That is a long way to go for a scan, and there is no way to make 136 km shorter. Two things are worth knowing: every state and territory runs a patient travel assistance scheme for people who have to travel for care, and the local health service or your referring doctor can tell you whether you qualify. Some regional hospitals also run visiting services on a roster, which the accreditation register cannot show us — worth one phone call before you plan the trip.

South Australia has 6 PET practices in total, 0 of them outside the capital. The machines cluster where the population is, which is why the nearest one to Waikerie is where it is.

The register has these accreditations running to: Radiology SA Elizabeth Vale to 31 May 2027, Benson Radiology North Adelaide to 31 July 2027 and Benson Radiology City West to 30 September 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.
