MRI near Beechworth, VIC

If you need MRI, it will not be in Beechworth — nothing here is accredited for it. The closest is X-Ray Group Wodonga, 32 km away in Wodonga — about 34 minutes in the car. After that, the options are Northeast Health Wangaratta in Wangaratta (33 km) and Lake Imaging Wangaratta in Wangaratta (33 km).

Widen the search to 200 km and there are 21 MRI practices; the closest five are above.

The eligible ones are X-Ray Group Wodonga, Northeast Health Wangaratta and Northeast Health Wangaratta (nuclear medicine by I-MED) — they appear on the Government's Medicare-eligible MRI list (last updated 17 February 2026). Lake Imaging Wangaratta runs an accredited MRI unit that is not on the list, so ask what an MRI there would cost you.

Locally, Beechworth is covered for x-ray. A referral for that can be done here: everything Beechworth has.

To put 32 km in context: of the 850 VIC towns we hold, 117 are further than Beechworth 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 Beechworth sits in one of the gaps.

Accreditation windows: X-Ray Group Wodonga to 30 November 2027, Northeast Health Wangaratta to 30 June 2027 and Lake Imaging Wangaratta to 31 May 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. A phone call before you travel is worth it: a practice can be accredited for a scan and still not run it daily.
