CT near Queenstown, TAS

Queenstown has no CT of its own. The nearest one is at I-MED Radiology North West Medical Centre in Burnie, about 118 km away. After that, the options are Imaging Plus in Cooee (119 km) and I-MED Radiology Mersey Community Hospital Torquay Rd, Latrobe       in Latrobe (119 km).

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

Locally, Queenstown is covered for x-ray. A referral for that can be done here: everything Queenstown has.

To put 118 km in context: of the 185 TAS towns we hold, 8 are further than Queenstown from a CT service. It is a real trip, and worth planning as one.

That is a long way to go for a scan, and there is no way to make 118 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.

Across Tasmania, 22 practices are accredited for CT and 11 of those are outside the capital. That is the arithmetic behind the distance above — CT is not spread evenly, and Queenstown sits in one of the gaps.

Accreditation windows: I-MED Radiology North West Medical Centre to 31 July 2027, Imaging Plus to 30 November 2026 and I-MED Radiology Mersey Community Hospital Torquay Rd, Latrobe       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 two list opening hours. Ring before you go rather than assuming — hours move, and not every accredited scan runs every day.
