Sources

Every fact on this site comes from one of the sources below. Where a page states something, it also says which of these it came from and how confident we are.

Medicare LSPN register (Services Australia / Department of Health) — the statutory register of accredited imaging practices: practice number, name, address, accredited modalities and accreditation dates. This is the spine of the corpus and the source of every accreditation claim.

Medicare-eligible MRI and PET location lists (health.gov.au) — the Government's published lists of practices where Medicare-eligible MRI and PET are performed. The MRI list we use was last updated 17 February 2026. These are the only source for the eligibility statements on this site.

healthdirect / the National Health Services Directory — contact details, opening hours and provider-reported billing. Provider-maintained, so we treat it as a hint rather than a fact, and we label contact details that come only from here.

State and territory health directories — public hospital and local health district imaging services, which are frequently the only imaging in a regional town.

Provider websites — hours, service lists and contact details, read within the practice's accredited scope so a chain's national service menu never becomes a claim about a single branch.

NATA (accreditation records) and AIHW (hospital reference data) — cross-checks rather than display sources.

GeoNames — locality and postcode centroids, used for every distance on the site. Licensed CC-BY 4.0; attribution appears in the footer of every page as that licence requires.

We do not use any source that requires us to guess a price, and we do not scrape review sites — there are no ratings on this site and there never will be.
