PET near Shepparton, VIC

If you need PET, it will not be in Shepparton — nothing here is accredited for it. The nearest one is at Bendigo Radiology Nuclear Medicine in Bendigo, about 108 km away, roughly 1 hr 45 min by road. After that, the options are I-MED Radiology Borella Rd, Albury in Albury (142 km) and Lumus Imaging Epping in Epping (145 km).

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

Shepparton is not without imaging — x-ray, ultrasound, CT, MRI and nuclear medicine are available in town. The town page lists everything Shepparton has.

To put 108 km in context: of the 850 VIC towns we hold, 122 are further than Shepparton from a PET service. It is a real trip, and worth planning as one.

108 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.

Victoria has 23 PET practices in total, 5 of them outside the capital. The machines cluster where the population is, which is why the nearest one to Shepparton is where it is.

The register has these accreditations running to: Bendigo Radiology Nuclear Medicine to 31 July 2027, I-MED Radiology Borella Rd, Albury to 31 July 2027 and Lumus Imaging Epping to 30 November 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 one lists opening hours. A phone call before you travel is worth it: a practice can be accredited for a scan and still not run it daily.
