We make accessing your general X-ray as simple and stress-free as possible. The majority of our clinics offer walk-in appointments for general X-rays between 9:00 am and 4:30 pm on weekdays - simply bring your referral form with you. We accept all medical referrals, even if yours is written for another imaging provider. Prefer to plan ahead? You can also schedule a time that suits you in three easy steps using our online booking system or locate your nearest practice via our clinic finder.

Many general X-rays are eligible for a Medicare rebate, and we proudly bulk bill pensioners and healthcare card holders for most Medicare-eligible imaging procedures. Because fees can vary depending on the examination requested by your practitioner, our friendly team will clearly explain any out-of-pocket costs when you book or arrive at the clinic. For more information on rebates and billing, please visit our payment and account FAQs.

Your safety, comfort, and peace of mind are at the centre of everything we do. Our clinics utilise modern digital radiography designed to capture high-resolution images while keeping radiation exposure as low as reasonably achievable. To place diagnostic X-ray safety into perspective, a patient would need to undergo approximately 38 routine chest X-rays to equal the amount of natural background radiation the average person receives from the environment over a single year.

Every X-ray at I-MED is performed by a highly trained medical imaging technologist (radiographer) and carefully interpreted by a specialist radiologist. If there is any chance you may be pregnant, please let your radiographer know prior to your scan so we can prioritise the safety of you and your baby with tailored care or alternative imaging options.

A general X-ray is a quick, painless procedure that typically takes no more than 10 to 15 minutes and requires no special preparation. Depending on the area of your body being examined, our radiographer will guide you to stand, sit, or lie comfortably while capturing clear images of your bones and internal structures. You may simply be asked to remove metal items - such as jewellery or watches - or change into a comfortable gown so nothing obscures the image quality.

Once your scan is complete, our specialist radiologist analyses your images and sends a comprehensive clinical report directly to your referring practitioner. To help you stay connected to your healthcare journey, we also send an SMS link to your mobile phone via My I-MED, allowing you to securely view, download, and share your digital images - and access your report seven days after your doctor receives it.
