Nuclear medicine near Swan Hill, VIC

If you need nuclear medicine, it will not be in Swan Hill — nothing here is accredited for it. The nearest one is at I-MED Radiology Echuca in Echuca, about 140 km away, roughly 2 hr 04 min by road. After that, the options are Bendigo Radiology Nuclear Medicine in Bendigo (170 km) and Bendigo Radiology Hamilton in Hamilton (170 km).

What Swan Hill 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 Swan Hill has.

For scale, 26 of the 850 towns we hold in VIC sit further from nuclear medicine than Swan Hill does.

There is no way around the distance: 140 km each way. Before you commit to it, two things are worth a phone call — your state's patient travel assistance scheme, which exists for people in exactly this position, and whether any service closer to Swan Hill visits on a roster. The register cannot show us visiting services.

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 Swan Hill sits in one of the gaps.

Current Medicare accreditation runs: I-MED Radiology Echuca to 31 October 2027, Bendigo Radiology Nuclear Medicine to 31 July 2027 and Bendigo Radiology Hamilton to 31 August 2027. We drop a modality the day its accreditation lapses, so if it is listed above it is current.

Of the four 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.
