Ultrasound near Southern Cross, WA

If you need ultrasound, it will not be in Southern Cross — nothing here is accredited for it. The nearest one is at Merredin Hospital Medical Imaging Dept in Merredin, about 104 km away. It is the only ultrasound service within 200 km of Southern Cross.

Southern Cross is not without imaging — x-ray is available in town. The town page lists everything Southern Cross has.

To put 104 km in context: of the 559 WA towns we hold, 34 are further than Southern Cross from a ultrasound service. It is a real trip, and worth planning as one.

A 104 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 Southern Cross — rosters like that do not appear in the accreditation register.

Across Western Australia, 143 practices are accredited for ultrasound and 40 of those are outside the capital. That is the arithmetic behind the distance above — ultrasound is not spread evenly, and Southern Cross sits in one of the gaps.

The register has these accreditations running to: Merredin Hospital Medical Imaging Dept 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.
