Ultrasound in Victoria

There are 413 ultrasound practices in Victoria, across 210 towns and suburbs.

111 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.

An ultrasound uses sound waves and is done by a sonographer, usually by appointment.

Nine towns in Victoria have imaging of their own but no ultrasound. 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 ultrasound include Epping, Werribee, Frankston, Berwick, East Melbourne, Heidelberg, Melbourne and St Albans.

The heaviest concentrations are Epping (eleven practices), Werribee (nine practices), Frankston (eight practices), Berwick (eight practices) and East Melbourne (eight practices). Outside those, most towns with ultrasound have exactly one practice, which is worth knowing when you are weighing a wait against a drive.

healthdirect records 17 practices in Victoria with ultrasound as bulk-billing. That is a provider self-report, not a promise, and the absence of a note against the others means we hold no billing information — not that they charge.

We publish no prices for ultrasound anywhere on this site. What we can tell you is where the machines are, who is accredited to run them, and how far you would have to go.
