MRI near Longford, TAS

There is no MRI scanner in Longford. The closest is Radiology Tasmania Launceston, 17 km away in South Launceston — about 17 minutes in the car. After that, the options are Lumus Imaging Launceston in Launceston (18 km) and Launceston General Hospital Medical Imaging in Launceston (18 km).

Twelve practices within 200 km of Longford are accredited for MRI in total; the five above are the closest by straight-line distance from the centre of town.

Radiology Tasmania Launceston, Launceston General Hospital Medical Imaging and I-MED Radiology St Lukes Hospital are on the Government's Medicare-eligible MRI list (last updated 17 February 2026); Lumus Imaging Launceston is accredited for MRI but not on that list, so a scan there may not attract a rebate.

Longford has no accredited imaging practice of its own that we can see in the register, so any scan means travelling. The closest imaging of any kind is Impact Radiology in South Launceston, 17 km away.

For scale, 62 of the 185 towns we hold in TAS sit further from MRI than Longford does.

Across Tasmania, 12 practices are accredited for MRI and 6 of those are outside the capital. That is the arithmetic behind the distance above — MRI is not spread evenly, and Longford sits in one of the gaps.

The register has these accreditations running to: Radiology Tasmania Launceston to 31 May 2027, Lumus Imaging Launceston to 30 September 2027 and Launceston General Hospital Medical Imaging 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 one lists opening hours. Ring before you go rather than assuming — hours move, and not every accredited scan runs every day.
