MRI near Red Cliffs, VIC

There is no MRI scanner in Red Cliffs. The nearest one is at Sunraysia Radiology in Mildura, about 14 km away, roughly 19 minutes by road. After that, the options are I-MED Radiology Mildura Base Hospital in Mildura (14 km) and Sa Medical Imaging Berri in Berri (146 km).

All of them are on the Australian Government's list of Medicare-eligible MRI locations (last updated 17 February 2026), so a Medicare rebate is possible for scans done there. Whether your scan attracts one depends on the item your referral asks for and on who wrote it — GPs can request a limited set of MRI items and specialists can request more.

Red Cliffs 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 Sunraysia Radiology in Mildura, 14 km away.

To put 14 km in context: of the 850 VIC towns we hold, 251 are further than Red Cliffs from a MRI service. It is a real trip, and worth planning as one.

Victoria has 140 MRI practices in total, 40 of them outside the capital. The machines cluster where the population is, which is why the nearest one to Red Cliffs is where it is.

Current Medicare accreditation runs: Sunraysia Radiology to 31 July 2027, I-MED Radiology Mildura Base Hospital to 30 September 2027 and Sa Medical Imaging Berri to 31 October 2026. 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 one lists opening hours. Ring before you go rather than assuming — hours move, and not every accredited scan runs every day.
