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 Maryborough sits in one of the gaps.

Current Medicare accreditation runs: Lake Imaging St John of God Hospital Ballarat to 31 July 2027, Bendigo Radiology Nuclear Medicine to 31 July 2027 and Capital Radiology Footscray - WPH to 31 May 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. A phone call before you travel is worth it: a practice can be accredited for a scan and still not run it daily.
