MRI near Leongatha, VIC

Leongatha has no MRI of its own. The nearest one is at Imaging Associates Warragul in Warragul, about 35 km away, roughly 59 minutes by road. After that, the options are Imaging Associates Wonthaggi in Wonthaggi (35 km) and Imaging Associates Drouin in Drouin (40 km).

Widen the search to 200 km and there are 117 MRI practices; the closest five are above.

All of them are on the Australian Government's list of Medicare-eligible MRI locations (last updated 17 February 2026), so a Medicare rebate is possible for scans done there. Whether your scan attracts one depends on the item your referral asks for and on who wrote it — GPs can request a limited set of MRI items and specialists can request more.

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

For scale, 103 of the 850 towns we hold in VIC sit further from MRI than Leongatha does.

Across Victoria, 140 practices are accredited for MRI and 40 of those are outside the capital. That is the arithmetic behind the distance above — MRI is not spread evenly, and Leongatha sits in one of the gaps.

Accreditation windows: Imaging Associates Warragul to 30 June 2027, Imaging Associates Wonthaggi to 30 November 2026 and Imaging Associates Drouin to 30 November 2026. 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 four list opening hours. Ring before you go rather than assuming — hours move, and not every accredited scan runs every day.
