Nuclear medicine near Queenstown, TAS

If you need nuclear medicine, it will not be in Queenstown — nothing here is accredited for it. The nearest one is at I-MED Radiology North West Medical Centre in Burnie, about 118 km away. After that, the options are I-MED Radiology St Vincents Hospital — Launceston in Launceston (150 km) and I-MED Radiology Calvary Hospital in Lenah Valley (168 km).

What Queenstown does have locally is x-ray. If your referral is for that, you do not need to leave town — see everything Queenstown has.

For scale, 15 of the 185 towns we hold in TAS sit further from nuclear medicine than Queenstown does.

118 km is a real trip, not a detail. Before you drive it, it is worth asking two things: whether you qualify for your state's patient travel assistance scheme, which exists for exactly this, and whether anything closer runs a visiting service — some regional hospitals do, on a roster we cannot see in the register.

Tasmania has 5 nuclear medicine practices in total, 2 of them outside the capital. The machines cluster where the population is, which is why the nearest one to Queenstown is where it is.

Current Medicare accreditation runs: I-MED Radiology North West Medical Centre to 31 July 2027, I-MED Radiology St Vincents Hospital — Launceston to 31 July 2027 and I-MED Radiology Calvary Hospital to 30 June 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 three list opening hours. Ring before you go rather than assuming — hours move, and not every accredited scan runs every day.
