Nuclear medicine near Buninyong, VIC

If you need nuclear medicine, it will not be in Buninyong — nothing here is accredited for it. The nearest one is at Grampians Health Ballarat (Ballarat Base Hospital) Radiology in Ballarat, about 11 km away, roughly 16 minutes by road. After that, the options are Lake Imaging St John of God Hospital Ballarat in Ballarat (11 km) and Lake Imaging Melton in Melton (61 km).

59 practices within 200 km of Buninyong are accredited for nuclear medicine in total; the five above are the closest by straight-line distance from the centre of town.

Within 10 km of Buninyong, accredited imaging covers x-ray, ultrasound, CT and MRI. If your referral is for one of those, see everything Buninyong has for the nearby options and their exact addresses.

To put 11 km in context: of the 850 VIC towns we hold, 361 are further than Buninyong from a nuclear medicine service. It is a real trip, and worth planning as one.

Across Victoria, 63 practices are accredited for nuclear medicine and 15 of those are outside the capital. That is the arithmetic behind the distance above — nuclear medicine is not spread evenly, and Buninyong sits in one of the gaps.

Current Medicare accreditation runs: Grampians Health Ballarat (Ballarat Base Hospital) Radiology to 31 May 2027, Lake Imaging St John of God Hospital Ballarat to 31 July 2027 and Lake Imaging Melton to 30 November 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. Ring before you go rather than assuming — hours move, and not every accredited scan runs every day.
