PET in Victoria

There are 23 PET practices in Victoria, across 21 towns and suburbs.

five sit beyond the capital's ring. That leaves large parts of Victoria more than an hour from the nearest one, which is what the town pages below are for.

A PET scan is the scarcest scan in Australia — the scanners sit almost entirely in capital cities and a handful of large regional hospitals.

47 towns in Victoria have imaging of their own but no PET. Each of those has a page giving the nearest machine and the distance from that town — that is the number that decides whether the scan happens.

The towns and suburbs with PET include Geelong, Epping, Heidelberg, Box Hill, Bendigo, Malvern, Footscray and Berwick.

The heaviest concentrations are Geelong (two practices), Epping (two practices), Heidelberg (one practice), Box Hill (one practice) and Bendigo (one practice). Outside those, most towns with PET have exactly one practice, which is worth knowing when you are weighing a wait against a drive.

There are no prices on this site, for PET or anything else. What we do hold is the location, the accreditation and the distance.
