Ultrasound in Western Australia

Western Australia has 143 practices accredited for ultrasound, spread over 82 towns and suburbs.

Outside the capital there are 40. That leaves large parts of Western Australia more than an hour from the nearest one, which is what the town pages below are for.

An ultrasound uses sound waves and is done by a sonographer, usually by appointment.

Seven towns in Western Australia have imaging of their own but no ultrasound. 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 ultrasound include Nedlands, Murdoch, Joondalup, Midland, Bunbury, Claremont, Perth and Morley.

The heaviest concentrations are Nedlands (seven practices), Murdoch (six practices), Joondalup (six practices), Midland (six practices) and Bunbury (four practices). Outside those, most towns with ultrasound have exactly one practice, which is worth knowing when you are weighing a wait against a drive.

healthdirect records four practices in Western Australia with ultrasound as bulk-billing. That is a provider self-report, not a promise, and the absence of a note against the others means we hold no billing information — not that they charge.

We publish no prices for ultrasound 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.
