The eligible ones are Radius Imaging - Torquay, Vision Radiology Torquay and Radiology Victoria at Epworth Geelong — they appear on the Government's Medicare-eligible MRI list (last updated 17 February 2026). Vision Radiology Colac and Radius Imaging run an accredited MRI unit that is not on the list, so ask what an MRI there would cost you.

Current Medicare accreditation runs: Vision Radiology Colac to 30 November 2027, Radius Imaging - Torquay to 31 August 2027 and Vision Radiology Torquay to 31 October 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. A phone call before you travel is worth it: a practice can be accredited for a scan and still not run it daily.
