Q & A
What do I need to bring to an x-ray?
You need a referral letter and your valid Medicare card.
How much will the x-ray cost?
There is nothing to pay if you have a valid Medicare card and referral. This does not mean that it is a free x-ray. Rather, there are no out of pocket expenses as we bulkbill.
If the x-ray is not covered under the medicare rebate, there will be an out of pocket fee.

X-ray films are shared digitally. Please note, there is a fee for hardcopy films.
Do you offer ultrasound, OPG, CT, MRI or mammogram?
No. We only offer x-ray imaging.
Do I need to make an appointment?
No. There is no need to make an appointment. If you want to minimise any possible waiting time, ring us, and we will make an appointment for you, which will prioritise you. Otherwise, it is first come, first served.
What are your opening hours?
Monday to Friday: 9am – 5:30pm
Saturday: 9am – 12pm
Please note our closing times. Please arrive at least 15 minutes before closing time.
I am pregnant. Can I still have an x-ray?
Please advise us if there is ANY chance you could be pregnant. It is highly advisable NOT to have an x-ray if you are pregnant. If you have been advised by your health practitioner to have an x-ray during pregnancy, we will cover you with lead shielding to minimise any possible risk.
Can I have the x-rays and report immediately?
There is no on-site radiologist. As we use teleradiology, no immediate report can be provided. We are not an emergency facility.
X-ray images can be sent to your referring doctor for their interpretation if required. The official report will be faxed or emailed the following day.
