Nuclear medicine near Foster, VIC

If you need nuclear medicine, it will not be in Foster — nothing here is accredited for it. The nearest one is at I-MED Radiology Traralgon Latrobe Regional Hospital in Traralgon, about 54 km away. After that, the options are Central Gippsland Health — Sale in Sale (98 km) and Marina Radiology Berwick in Berwick (101 km).

There are 52 nuclear medicine practices within 200 km of Foster altogether — the five listed are simply the nearest.

Locally, Foster is covered for x-ray, ultrasound and CT. A referral for one of those can be done here: everything Foster has.

To put 54 km in context: of the 850 VIC towns we hold, 104 are further than Foster from a nuclear medicine service. It is a real trip, and worth planning as one.

Victoria has 63 nuclear medicine practices in total, 15 of them outside the capital. The machines cluster where the population is, which is why the nearest one to Foster is where it is.

Accreditation windows: I-MED Radiology Traralgon Latrobe Regional Hospital to 30 September 2027, Central Gippsland Health — Sale to 31 October 2027 and Marina Radiology Berwick 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 three list opening hours. Ring before you go rather than assuming — hours move, and not every accredited scan runs every day.
