What Mater Imaging does

Mater Imaging is an accredited diagnostic medical imaging practice located on the LG Floor of Mater Hospital at 25 Rocklands Road in North Sydney, NSW, Australia. The clinic operates as a patient-facing radiology site within the I-MED Radiology Network, one of Australia's largest diagnostic imaging providers, leveraging I-MED's national booking infrastructure, branding, and operational systems. Mater Imaging offers a comprehensive multi-modality portfolio covering MRI, CT, PET, ultrasound, X-ray, mammography, nuclear medicine, bone densitometry (DEXA), dental X-ray (OPG), EOS X-ray, lung screening, and image-guided interventional procedures, including the proprietary CT Lung Ventilation Analysis Software (CTLVAS)™.

The clinic is structured to serve both individual patients referred by GPs and specialists and walk-in/self-referred patients seeking screening such as mammography or lung screening. Operating hours span 6:30am to 10pm Monday through Friday, with MRI services available from 5pm, plus weekend hours (Saturday 8am-6pm, Sunday 8am-5pm), providing access well beyond standard radiology clinic hours. Patients can book via the I-MED online portal (book.i-med.com.au), by phone at (02) 9955 4466, or through practitioner referral, and access results through the My I-MED patient portal.

The revenue model is transaction-based fee-for-service, billed through Medicare, private health insurers, or direct patient payment depending on procedure and referral type. Service-specific pricing is not publicly disclosed. Mater Imaging's co-location within Mater Hospital provides direct access to specialist referrals and inpatient imaging demand, while I-MED's network provides the corporate infrastructure, national contracts, and brand recognition that underpin the clinic's operations.

Recent moves4 records

Expansion highlights3 records

Broad incumbents

• Healius Limited: Large ASX-listed healthcare operator with diagnostic imaging (through Qscan) alongside pathology and day hospitals. While broader than Mater, Healius is a key imaging competitor in metro Sydney and a benchmark for clinic-level economics within a diversified parent structure.
• I-MED Radiology Network: Parent operating company of Mater Imaging and Australia's largest diagnostic imaging network with hundreds of clinic sites nationwide. Mater is one location within I-MED's national portfolio, so I-MED's broader footprint, contracts, and infrastructure functions as both an enabler and a benchmark for Mater's own performance.
• Sonic Healthcare: ASX-listed global medical diagnostics provider with radiology operations alongside its core pathology business. While imaging is a smaller fraction of Sonic's mix, it competes with Mater for referrers, payor contracts, and radiologist talent in the Sydney market.

Direct peers

• Capital Radiology: Multi-site Australian diagnostic imaging network operating community radiology clinics. Also part of the broader Permira-owned imaging platform, overlaps materially with Mater's service offering, hours model, and operating geographies.
• Lumus Imaging: Australian diagnostic imaging network (formerly Healthcare Imaging Services) operating community radiology clinics across metro and regional areas. Directly comparable to Mater in offering MRI, CT, X-ray, ultrasound, mammography, and interventional services to patients on a referral and self-booking basis.
• Castlereagh Imaging: Sydney-based diagnostic imaging practice offering comprehensive radiology services including MRI, CT, PET, ultrasound, mammography, and interventional procedures. Competes head-to-head with Mater in the Sydney metro market across similar modalities and patient populations.
• Spectrum Medical Imaging: Australian diagnostic imaging clinic group providing a similar mix of modalities including MRI, CT, ultrasound, X-ray, and interventional services. Comparable to Mater in operating model, payor mix, and reliance on practitioner referrals.
• PRP Diagnostic Imaging: Australian operator of community diagnostic imaging clinics providing X-ray, CT, MRI, ultrasound, nuclear medicine, and interventional services. Comparable to Mater in modality breadth, Medicare-funded revenue mix, and referral-channel go-to-market.
• Alfred Imaging Group: Australian diagnostic imaging practice offering MRI, CT, ultrasound, and other radiology services. Comparable to Mater in scope of modalities, outpatient operating model, and reliance on specialist referrals for higher-complexity imaging.
• Qscan Radiology Clinics: Australian diagnostic imaging clinic network offering X-ray, CT, MRI, ultrasound, mammography, and interventional procedures across multiple states. Overlaps Mater's modality mix, hours-driven access model, and practitioner-referral patient acquisition strategy.
