PET near Mount Buller, VIC

If you need PET, it will not be in Mount Buller — nothing here is accredited for it. The nearest one is at I-MED Radiology Traralgon Latrobe Regional Hospital in Traralgon, about 119 km away, roughly 4 hr 43 min by road. After that, the options are I-MED Radiology Borella Rd, Albury in Albury (127 km) and Lumus Imaging Knox Private Hospital in Wantirna (132 km).

There are 21 PET practices within 200 km of Mount Buller altogether — the five listed are simply the nearest.

Mount Buller 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 Mansfield District Hospital in Mansfield, 33 km away.

To put 119 km in context: of the 850 VIC towns we hold, 101 are further than Mount Buller from a PET service. It is a real trip, and worth planning as one.

119 km is a real trip, not a detail. Before you drive it, it is worth asking two things: whether you qualify for your state's patient travel assistance scheme, which exists for exactly this, and whether anything closer runs a visiting service — some regional hospitals do, on a roster we cannot see in the register.

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 Mount Buller sits in one of the gaps.

The register has these accreditations running to: I-MED Radiology Traralgon Latrobe Regional Hospital to 30 September 2027, I-MED Radiology Borella Rd, Albury to 31 July 2027 and Lumus Imaging Knox Private Hospital to 31 July 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.
