X-Ray Frequently Asked Questions
Most Medicare-funded diagnostic X-rays require a referral from an authorised healthcare practitioner. Your GP can assess your symptoms and arrange an appropriate referral when necessary.
Please contact reception to confirm whether X-ray imaging is available on-site or arranged through an external diagnostic imaging provider.
An X-ray itself is generally painless. However, positioning the affected area may cause temporary discomfort if you have an injury.
Many routine X-ray examinations take approximately 5–15 minutes, although the duration depends on the body area being examined and the imaging provider.
X-rays use ionising radiation, so there is a small associated risk. Your practitioner will consider whether the expected diagnostic benefit outweighs the risk. Inform your healthcare team if you are pregnant or may be pregnant.
Many diagnostic X-rays attract Medicare rebates when eligibility requirements are met. Out-of-pocket fees depend on the investigation and imaging provider.
The imaging provider generally sends a report to your referring doctor. Your GP can discuss the findings and recommend appropriate follow-up care.
