Nuclear medicine near Portland, VIC

No practice in Portland is accredited for nuclear medicine. The nearest one is at Lake Imaging Warrnambool SJOG Hospital in Warrnambool, about 76 km away, roughly 84 minutes by road. After that, the options are Benson Radiology Mount Gambier Crouch Street North in Mount Gambier (93 km) and Vision Radiology Colac in Colac (173 km).

What Portland does have locally is x-ray, ultrasound and CT. If your referral is for one of those, you do not need to leave town — see everything Portland has.

To put 76 km in context: of the 850 VIC towns we hold, 64 are further than Portland from a nuclear medicine service. It is a real trip, and worth planning as one.

Across Victoria, 63 practices are accredited for nuclear medicine and 15 of those are outside the capital. That is the arithmetic behind the distance above — nuclear medicine is not spread evenly, and Portland sits in one of the gaps.

Current Medicare accreditation runs: Lake Imaging Warrnambool SJOG Hospital to 30 November 2027, Benson Radiology Mount Gambier Crouch Street North to 31 July 2027 and Vision Radiology Colac to 30 November 2027. We drop a modality the day its accreditation lapses, so if it is listed above it is current.

Of the three 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.
