MRI near Broadford, VIC

Broadford does not have an MRI scanner. The closest is Kilmore MRI & Specialist Centre (Radskill Imaging Group), 14 km away in Kilmore — about 14 minutes in the car.

132 practices within 200 km of Broadford are accredited for MRI in total; the five above are the closest by straight-line distance from the centre of town.

The eligible ones are Kilmore MRI & Specialist Centre (Radskill Imaging Group), Southern Cross Medical Imaging (SCMI) Mernda and I-MED Radiology Epping — they appear on the Government's Medicare-eligible MRI list (last updated 17 February 2026). Southern Cross Medical Imaging — South Morang runs an accredited MRI unit that is not on the list, so ask what an MRI there would cost you.

Broadford 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 Northern Health (Kilmore District Hospital) in Kilmore, 14 km away.

To put 14 km in context: of the 850 VIC towns we hold, 251 are further than Broadford 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 Broadford sits in one of the gaps.

The register has these accreditations running to: Kilmore MRI & Specialist Centre (Radskill Imaging Group) to 31 May 2027, Southern Cross Medical Imaging (SCMI) Mernda to 31 July 2027 and I-MED Radiology Epping 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. A phone call before you travel is worth it: a practice can be accredited for a scan and still not run it daily.
