Nuclear medicine near Manjimup, WA

There is no nuclear medicine service in Manjimup. The nearest one is at Apex Radiology South West Health Campus in Bunbury, about 108 km away, roughly 1 hr 45 min by road. After that, the options are TeleMed Albany in Albany (181 km) and Apex Radiology Peel Specialist Centre in Greenfields (193 km).

What Manjimup 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 Manjimup has.

To put 108 km in context: of the 559 WA towns we hold, 95 are further than Manjimup 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 108 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 Manjimup sits in one of the gaps.

Current Medicare accreditation runs: Apex Radiology South West Health Campus to 31 July 2027, TeleMed Albany to 30 September 2027 and Apex Radiology Peel Specialist Centre to 31 May 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 one lists opening hours. Ring before you go rather than assuming — hours move, and not every accredited scan runs every day.
