PET near Horsham, VIC

No practice in Horsham is accredited for PET. The nearest one is at Lake Imaging St John of God Hospital Ballarat in Ballarat, about 174 km away, roughly 2 hr 29 min by road. After that, the options are Bendigo Radiology Nuclear Medicine in Bendigo (185 km).

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

To put 174 km in context: of the 850 VIC towns we hold, 64 are further than Horsham from a PET service. It is a real trip, and worth planning as one.

There is no way around the distance: 174 km each way. Before you commit to it, two things are worth a phone call — your state's patient travel assistance scheme, which exists for people in exactly this position, and whether any service closer to Horsham visits on a roster. The register cannot show us visiting services.

Across Victoria, 23 practices are accredited for PET and 5 of those are outside the capital. That is the arithmetic behind the distance above — PET is not spread evenly, and Horsham sits in one of the gaps.

Accreditation windows: Lake Imaging St John of God Hospital Ballarat to 31 July 2027 and Bendigo Radiology Nuclear Medicine to 31 July 2027. We drop a modality the day its accreditation lapses, so if it is listed above it is current.

Of the two practices listed, all publish a phone number, all have a website and one lists opening hours. Ring before you go rather than assuming — hours move, and not every accredited scan runs every day.
