MRI near Alexandra, VIC

There is no MRI scanner in Alexandra. The nearest one is at Kilmore MRI & Specialist Centre (Radskill Imaging Group) in Kilmore, about 68 km away, roughly 81 minutes by road. After that, the options are I-MED Radiology Lilydale in Lilydale (70 km) and Vision Radiology Lilydale in Lilydale (70 km).

There are 138 MRI practices within 200 km of Alexandra altogether — the five listed are simply the nearest.

Kilmore MRI & Specialist Centre (Radskill Imaging Group), I-MED Radiology Lilydale and Southern Cross Medical Imaging (SCMI) Mernda are on the Government's Medicare-eligible MRI list (last updated 17 February 2026); Vision Radiology Lilydale and Southern Cross Medical Imaging — South Morang are accredited for MRI but not on that list, so a scan there may not attract a rebate.

Alexandra 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 Mansfield District Hospital in Mansfield, 37 km away.

To put 68 km in context: of the 850 VIC towns we hold, 42 are further than Alexandra from a MRI service. It is a real trip, and worth planning as one.

Across Victoria, 140 practices are accredited for MRI and 40 of those are outside the capital. That is the arithmetic behind the distance above — MRI is not spread evenly, and Alexandra sits in one of the gaps.

The register has these accreditations running to: Kilmore MRI & Specialist Centre (Radskill Imaging Group) to 31 May 2027, I-MED Radiology Lilydale to 30 November 2027 and Vision Radiology Lilydale 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 two list opening hours. Ring before you go rather than assuming — hours move, and not every accredited scan runs every day.
