PET near Katanning, WA

What Katanning does have locally is x-ray and ultrasound. If your referral is for one of those, you do not need to leave town — see everything Katanning has.

To put 181 km in context: of the 559 WA towns we hold, 150 are further than Katanning from a PET service. It is a real trip, and worth planning as one.

A 181 km trip is a day out of your life, not an errand. Ask your referring doctor about the patient travel assistance scheme in your state, and ask the nearest hospital whether a visiting service ever covers Katanning — rosters like that do not appear in the accreditation register.

Western Australia has 14 PET practices in total, 2 of them outside the capital. The machines cluster where the population is, which is why the nearest one to Katanning is where it is.

Current Medicare accreditation runs: Apex Radiology South West Health Campus to 31 July 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.
