Attending your appointment

  • Most medical imaging appointments require a referral from your doctor or treating healthcare provider. If you are attending for a walk-in X-ray, you do not need to make an appointment, but you still need to bring a valid referral. Please bring:

    • Your referral
    • Your Medicare card
    • Your concession card, if applicable
    • Any relevant previous imaging or reports
    • Private health insurance details, if applicable 

    Some scans require special preparation, such as fasting, drinking water or avoiding certain medication. Our team will let you know about any preparation requirements when your appointment is booked. When you arrive, our reception staff will confirm your details. 

  • Queensland X-Ray provides patients with access to their images and results online through the Patient Portal. Shortly after your first visit, you will receive a text message with instructions for setting up your account. If you already have an account, you can access the Patient Portal online. Your referring doctor or practitioner will receive your report once it has been reviewed by a radiologist. 

  • Queensland X-Ray charges private fees for many medical imaging services. If you are an outpatient, payment is required in full at the end of your appointment. Billing can vary depending on the practice and service you choose.


    Bulk billing is available for several services for patients who hold a current Health Care Card or Pensioner Concession Card. Some services and interventional procedures may attract out-of-pocket costs, also known as a gap. Queensland X-Ray is unable to accept the Commonwealth Seniors Health Card.


    Please ask about the cost of your scan when booking so our team can explain any fees that may apply.
