X-ray in Australia

1701 imaging practices in Australia are accredited for x-ray and take referred patients. 727 of them are outside a capital city.

An x-ray is the quickest and most widely available scan; most practices run one.

Coverage by state: 565 in New South Wales, 416 in Victoria, 386 in Queensland, 165 in Western Australia, 102 in South Australia, 30 in Tasmania, 28 in Australian Capital Territory and 9 in Northern Territory.

Every scan needs a referral, and the practice — not the patient — is what determines whether Medicare eligibility applies. Pick your state below, then your town, for the nearest machine and how far it is.

On our count, 11 towns with imaging of their own have no x-ray at all. Those towns are where the distance matters most, and each has a page giving the nearest machine measured from there rather than from the nearest capital.

scanfinder shows you where imaging is available. Your doctor decides which scan you need — you'll need a referral for all of these.
