Nuclear medicine near Kalbarri, WA

Kalbarri does not have a nuclear medicine service. The closest is TeleMed Geraldton, 126 km away in Geraldton — about 1 hr 58 min in the car. It is the only nuclear medicine service within 200 km of Kalbarri.

Kalbarri 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 TeleMed Geraldton in Geraldton, 126 km away.

To put 126 km in context: of the 559 WA towns we hold, 87 are further than Kalbarri from a nuclear medicine service. It is a real trip, and worth planning as one.

That is a long way to go for a scan, and there is no way to make 126 km shorter. Two things are worth knowing: every state and territory runs a patient travel assistance scheme for people who have to travel for care, and the local health service or your referring doctor can tell you whether you qualify. Some regional hospitals also run visiting services on a roster, which the accreditation register cannot show us — worth one phone call before you plan the trip.

Across Western Australia, 26 practices are accredited for nuclear medicine and 6 of those are outside the capital. That is the arithmetic behind the distance above — nuclear medicine is not spread evenly, and Kalbarri sits in one of the gaps.

The register has these accreditations running to: TeleMed Geraldton to 31 May 2027. We drop a modality the day its accreditation lapses, so if it is listed above it is current.

Of the one practice listed, all publish a phone number, all have a website and none publishes opening hours we could confirm. Ring before you go rather than assuming — hours move, and not every accredited scan runs every day.
