WHO WE ARE
About SWUS
We are a small privately owned diagnostic ultrasound service catering to the south-west Victorian region.
Southwest Ultrasound is dedicated to providing optimal-quality diagnostic imaging and patient care to our valued community. As a healthcare provider, we are very much committed to quality care, compassion and service.
Our primary Sonographer Julie Noonan has over 15 years Sonography experience with her masters in medical Sonography. She has experience working in rural, remote and metro areas around Australia covering all general ultrasound studies.
Our friendly reception staff are here to greet you, book your appointments and help out with any queries that you may have.
We have a state of the art Philips Epiq 5 machine with shear wave technology, allowing us to obtain optimal imaging even when scanning patients with difficult body habitus.
As a privately owned business with no government funding, it is no longer financially viable to provide all scans at a bulk-billed rate. As of the 1st of January 2023, all scans will be privately billed – at a competitive rate. Concession card holders will continue to be bulk billed.
Costs and rebates will vary depending on the scan required and Medicare claiming rules.
Costs will be explained at the time of booking, with payments required via EFTPOS at the time of service. Medicare claims will be submitted by us immediately, with rebates being available in patients nominated bank accounts over-night.
We have a state of the art Philips Epiq 5 machine with sheer wave technology, allowing us to obtain optimal imaging even when scanning patients with difficult body habitus.
Our reporting radiologists are highly experienced with teleradiology reporting with reports being available to referring Doctors within 24 - 48 hours.
