Current Medicare accreditation runs: Northeast Health Wangaratta (nuclear medicine by I-MED) to 31 October 2027, I-MED Radiology Traralgon Latrobe Regional Hospital to 30 September 2027 and Central Gippsland Health — Sale to 31 October 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 two list opening hours. Ring before you go rather than assuming — hours move, and not every accredited scan runs every day.
