What SKG Radiology does

SKG Radiology is a Western Australian diagnostic imaging practice that operates more than 20 clinics and employs over 600 staff across radiography, nursing, administration, and support functions. The practice, founded in 1968, is wholly owned by ASX-listed Sonic Healthcare, one of Australia's largest medical diagnostics groups. Service breadth spans MRI, CT, X-ray, ultrasound, mammography, nuclear medicine, PET-CT, fluoroscopy, and interventional radiology, supplemented by specialised offerings such as Contrast-Enhanced Mammography, EOS imaging, and deep-endometriosis ultrasound. Patient and referrer touchpoints are increasingly digital, including an online booking system, a patient portal delivered via Zed Technologies for image and report access, the SKG Connect application for referrer review of studies, and an eReferral workflow embedded in Best Practice, Gentu, and Genie practice-management software.

The technology stack is conventional diagnostic imaging rather than AI-native: imaging modalities connect to PACS/RIS systems with digital report delivery, eReferral ingestion, and patient-side portals, but no proprietary imaging AI, machine-learning triage, or automated detection is disclosed. The practice operates as an accredited diagnostic imaging facility under AHPRA-registered radiologists and the WA Radiological Council, qualifying its services for Medicare bulk-billing.

Revenue is generated through fee-for-service diagnostic imaging billed to patients (out-of-pocket and bulk-billed through Medicare), compensation from workers' compensation and motor-vehicle injury schemes, and contracts tied to corporate and government screening programs — including Australia's National Lung Cancer Screening Program. Patient volumes are highly distributed across the Western Australian population, with general practitioners and specialists acting as referral channels; SKG Connect and eReferral integrations are explicitly designed to deepen that channel stickiness rather than to reach new customer segments.

• Queensland X-Ray: A Sonic Imaging network peer also owned by Sonic Healthcare, operating multi-modality diagnostic imaging clinics across Queensland. Highly comparable to SKG given shared parent, similar service portfolio (MRI, CT, PET, nuclear medicine), and shared digital infrastructure philosophy.
• Capital Radiology: Major Australian diagnostic imaging network with clinics across multiple states offering MRI, CT, ultrasound, mammography, and interventional services. Comparable to SKG in modality mix, referrer-driven GTM, and Medicare bulk-billing revenue model.
• PRP Diagnostic Imaging: Australian diagnostic imaging operator with multiple clinics offering MRI, CT, ultrasound, mammography, and nuclear medicine. Comparable to SKG in modality breadth and referrer-channel GTM.
• Castlereagh Imaging: Fellow Sonic Imaging member practice offering diagnostic and interventional radiology in NSW. Closely comparable to SKG as a same-parent imaging brand with multi-modality services and referrer-integrated digital tools.
• Illawarra Radiology Group: Sonic Imaging member practice serving the Illawarra region with comprehensive diagnostic imaging. Same parent and operating model as SKG, making it a closely comparable network affiliate.
• I-MED Radiology Network: Australia's largest diagnostic imaging network operating hundreds of clinics nationwide.

Regional players

• Radiology Tasmania: Multi-site diagnostic imaging provider serving Tasmania with similar modality offerings to SKG. Comparable in operating model and service portfolio but geographically distinct from SKG's WA footprint.
• Mermaid Beach Radiology: Queensland-based multi-modality diagnostic imaging provider offering MRI, CT, ultrasound, and interventional procedures. Comparable in service mix to SKG but operates exclusively in Queensland rather than competing directly in Western Australia.

Emerging players
