PET in Western Australia

There are 14 PET practices in Western Australia, across nine towns and suburbs.

two sit beyond the capital's ring. That leaves large parts of Western Australia more than an hour from the nearest one, which is what the town pages below are for.

A PET scan is the scarcest scan in Australia — the scanners sit almost entirely in capital cities and a handful of large regional hospitals.

18 towns in Western Australia have imaging of their own but no PET. 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 PET include Murdoch, Nedlands, Midland, Bunbury, Wembley, Joondalup, Rockingham and Subiaco.

The heaviest concentrations are Murdoch (three practices), Nedlands (three practices), Midland (two practices), Bunbury (one practice) and Wembley (one practice). Outside those, most towns with PET have exactly one practice, which is worth knowing when you are weighing a wait against a drive.

We publish no prices for PET 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.
