MRI clinic locations
Patients can access MRI services at I-MED Radiology in more than 110 locations across Metropolitan and Regional Australia. From 1 July 2025, our clinics providing MRI can have either a full license or no license for Medicare billing.
Many factors influence the cost of an MRI scan and its eligibility for the Medicare rebate. These can include the clinic license and the type of requesting practitioner, such as Consultant/Specialist, GP, or others. See our updated list of eligible MBS items and check the Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Services website for Medicare-eligible MRI services listed in the Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) at www.mbsonline.gov.au.
We may charge a gap fee on top of the Medicare rebate, patients are required to pay the full rebate amount plus a gap fee, and then claim the rebate back from Medicare. Learn more about the Medicare rebate and gap fees.
We provide bulk billed radiology in many of our clinics around Australia
At I-MED, pensioners and healthcare card holders are bulk billed for most Medicare examinations for which a rebate is available, reducing out-of-pocket MRI scanning costs for concession card holders.
To request a quote for an MRI scan, call your local clinic and select the 'Booking' option on our phone system. Find your local clinic.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become an increasingly essential diagnostic tool. The superlative soft tissue detail makes MRI the preferred modality for brain, spine, and the bone marrow as well as soft issues in and around the joints. In addition, improvements in MRI technology have created magnets that are quieter, faster, more comfortable, more accurate and hence more informative for GPs and specialists alike.

See below for a summary of the key differences between full and unlicensed MRI clinics, so you can choose the best option for your needs and budget. From 1 July 2025, the licenses are categorised as Full Medicare License or No Medicare License.
Please review the list of our MRI locations below to determine the license type applicable to your local clinic(s).
With changes to Australian government MRI regulation progressively coming into effect from 1 July 2025, clinics listed below as No Medicare License will become fully licensed from 1 July 2027.
In some specific instances, a clinic may not possess a Medicare license, however, due to a government deregulation ruling, I-MED may be authorised to offer full Medicare eligibility in these cases. Accessing the Medicare rebate under the ruling may affect the location of your scan. If your local I-MED clinic has no Medicare license, please contact the clinic for more information.
Full Medicare License keyboard_arrow_down
- A Medicare rebate available for all Medicare-eligible services
- The out-of-pocket cost is the gap fee after paying the full amount and claiming a Medicare rebate
- Wait times may be longer due to higher demand
Not Licensed for Medicare keyboard_arrow_down
- Clinics without a Medicare license do not attract the Medicare rebate for MRI services
- Patients are required to pay the full cost of the service without Medicare reimbursement
- Short waiting time for appointments
- Scans covered by Third Party/ Work Cover/ Overseas Insurance (excluding NIB and Allianz) are generally performed in an unlicensed clinic as Medicare billing is not required, therefore we can provide a faster service.
- Patients funded by the department of Veteran Affairs can be scanned in clinics without a Medicare license.
