PET near Falls Creek, VIC

If you need PET, it will not be in Falls Creek — nothing here is accredited for it. The closest is I-MED Radiology Borella Rd, Albury, 93 km away in Albury — about 1 hr 53 min in the car. After that, the options are I-MED Radiology Traralgon Latrobe Regional Hospital in Traralgon (166 km) and I-MED Radiology Wagga Wagga in Wagga Wagga (194 km).

Falls Creek 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 Beechworth Health Service in Beechworth, 77 km away.

To put 93 km in context: of the 850 VIC towns we hold, 137 are further than Falls Creek from a PET service. It is a real trip, and worth planning as one.

Victoria has 23 PET practices in total, 5 of them outside the capital. The machines cluster where the population is, which is why the nearest one to Falls Creek is where it is.

Current Medicare accreditation runs: I-MED Radiology Borella Rd, Albury to 31 July 2027, I-MED Radiology Traralgon Latrobe Regional Hospital to 30 September 2027 and I-MED Radiology Wagga Wagga to 31 July 2027. We drop a modality the day its accreditation lapses, so if it is listed above it is current.

Of the three 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.
