About these results
There is no nuclear medicine service in Hamilton. The closest is Lake Imaging Warrnambool SJOG Hospital, 80 km away in Warrnambool. After that, the options are Benson Radiology Mount Gambier Crouch Street North in Mount Gambier (109 km) and Vision Radiology Colac in Colac (153 km).
Hamilton 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 Bendigo Radiology Casterton in Casterton, 58 km away.
To put 80 km in context: of the 850 VIC towns we hold, 55 are further than Hamilton 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 Hamilton sits in one of the gaps.
Accreditation windows: Lake Imaging Warrnambool SJOG Hospital to 30 November 2027, Benson Radiology Mount Gambier Crouch Street North to 31 July 2027 and Vision Radiology Colac 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.
scanfinder shows you where imaging is available. Your doctor decides which scan you need — you'll need a referral for all of these.
About nuclear medicine. Nuclear medicine uses a small amount of a radioactive tracer, so it needs a licensed department rather than a general imaging room. Accreditation means a practice meets the Medicare requirements for it — it is not a ranking, and we publish no ratings. Distances are straight-line from the centre of the town, so the drive is a little longer.
