Ultrasound in Australia
1621 imaging practices in Australia are accredited for ultrasound and take referred patients. 622 of them are outside a capital city.
An ultrasound uses sound waves and is done by a sonographer, usually by appointment.
Coverage by state: 523 in New South Wales, 413 in Victoria, 376 in Queensland, 143 in Western Australia, 97 in South Australia, 30 in Australian Capital Territory, 28 in Tasmania and 11 in Northern Territory.
Every scan needs a referral, and the practice — not the patient — is what determines whether Medicare eligibility applies. Pick your state below, then your town, for the nearest machine and how far it is.
On our count, 43 towns with imaging of their own have no ultrasound at all. Those towns are where the distance matters most, and each has a page giving the nearest machine measured from there rather than from the nearest capital.
scanfinder shows you where imaging is available. Your doctor decides which scan you need — you'll need a referral for all of these.
