I-MED Radiology, I-MED Radiology North West Medical Centre and Radiology Tasmania Launceston 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.

Ulverstone 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 I-MED Radiology in Devonport, 15 km away.

Current Medicare accreditation runs: I-MED Radiology to 31 July 2027, I-MED Radiology North West Medical Centre to 31 July 2027 and Lumus Imaging Launceston 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 two list opening hours. Ring before you go rather than assuming — hours move, and not every accredited scan runs every day.
