Australian Radiology Clinics

What Australian Radiology Clinics does

Australian Radiology Clinics, doing business as Radiology SA, is a privately owned, radiologist-governed medical imaging practice headquartered in Adelaide, South Australia. The practice operates 16 clinic locations across metropolitan Adelaide delivering the full diagnostic imaging portfolio — X-ray (including dental/OPG), CT, MRI (1.5T and 3T), ultrasound, mammography with tomosynthesis, nuclear medicine, PET (including PSMA and Alzheimer protocols), DEXA bone mineral densitometry, and body composition scanning — alongside interventional procedures such as spinal injections, biopsies, drainages, vascular access, and Tier B interventional radiology. Recent capability investments include Siemens Deep Resolve Boost AI-enabled MRI reconstruction, ultra-low dose CT chest imaging, and emphysema quantification protocols. Beyond its owned clinic network, Radiology SA provides contracted radiology services to five public sector partners: Lyell McEwin Hospital, Cairns Hospital, Port Pirie Hospital, Royal Darwin Hospital, and BreastScreen SA, with clinical directors stationed at each hospital site.

The commercial model is a hybrid of Medicare bulk-billing (for concession card holders and Medicare-eligible examinations), private patient fee-for-service with capped gap payments within a 7-day window, 'no gap' arrangements with participating health funds, and managed-services under multi-year hospital contracts. Patient acquisition is driven by a dedicated referrer engagement team that manages relationships with GPs, specialists, and allied health professionals, supported by Inteleviewer, a PACS physician portal, and Gentu eReferral integration. The practice originates from Dr John Mayo's 1930s North Terrace Adelaide practice, was later known as Perrett Medical Imaging, became corporatised under Medical Imaging Australia/I-MED, and was re-established under radiologist ownership in 2005 as Radiology SA, subsequently growing from two locations to the current 16-clinic footprint plus hospital contracts across South Australia, Queensland, and the Northern Territory. Leadership comprises Managing Partner Leigh Mosel, Deputy Managing Partner Simon Prowse, and Board Chairman Elizabeth Perry AM.
