Christchurch Radiology Group

What Christchurch Radiology Group does

Pacific Radiology NZ (formerly Christchurch Radiology Group) is the operator of New Zealand's largest radiology clinic network, with 42 locations across Canterbury, Otago & Southland, Waikato, Wellington/Manawatū, and Nelson. The business is wholly owned by RHCNZ (Radiology Healthcare New Zealand), a private holding entity, and provides diagnostic and interventional imaging services spanning X-ray, ultrasound (including pregnancy ultrasound with national guideline leadership), MRI, CT (including CT Calcium Score and CT Colonography), breast imaging with SAVI SCOUT marker placement, PET-CT, bone density (DEXA), dental imaging, Cone Beam CT, and image-guided ablation for nerve pain. Technology infrastructure includes the IntelePACS referrer portal used by GPs and specialists for image access and referrals, and the myImaging patient portal for appointment management and result delivery.

Revenue is generated on a fee-for-service basis through patient payments, private health insurer reimbursements (notably Southern Cross), and ACC (Accident Compensation Corporation) claims, supplemented by professional radiology interpretation services. Go-to-market combines direct-to-patient channels (online booking, contact centers, walk-in clinics) with healthcare-provider referrals routed through IntelePACS, plus branded sports and community partnerships (Crusaders, Hurricanes, Highlanders, Wellington Phoenix FC, Royal NZ Ballet, Triathlon NZ, Snow Sports NZ, NZ Brain Research Institute, Heart Foundation, Gut Foundation) that primarily serve brand reinforcement rather than enterprise revenue. Referral partnerships with Auckland Radiology and Bay Radiology extend geographic coverage outside the company's direct operating regions.

The company is led by a Chief Medical Officer, a Chief Radiologist, and regional Managing Radiologists across each operating region, with clinical governance supported by a Clinical Advisory Group under the RHCNZ Board. The firm is privately held with no public listing, ticker, or disclosed funding rounds. Christchurch Radiology Group is referenced as a historical brand that now operates under the Pacific Radiology NZ banner within RHCNZ.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• I-MED Radiology Network: Largest private radiology operator in Australia with a national clinic footprint; directly comparable as a multi-site radiology network across modalities, only operating across the Tasman rather than within NZ.
• Sonic Healthcare: Global diagnostics business with radiology operations across Australia and Europe; relevant comparable for diversified diagnostic imaging scale and capital allocation strategy, though much larger and broader than Pacific Radiology.
• RadNet: Largest US outpatient imaging provider with hundreds of centers; relevant comparable for the multi-site radiology clinic model, AI adoption trajectory, and the economics of scale in diagnostic imaging, despite operating in a very different healthcare system.
• Rhythm Radiology (Healthcare Imaging Services): Australian private diagnostic imaging network operating community-based clinics; comparable clinic-network business model and referrer-driven go-to-market, though focused on Australia.
• Healius: Australian operator of diagnostic imaging (Lumus Imaging) and pathology assets; comparable as a listed multi-site imaging provider, though it operates at much greater scale across a larger market.

Direct peers

• Mercy Radiology: Auckland-based private radiology group offering MRI, CT, ultrasound and interventional services; directly comparable as another NZ private radiology provider with similar modality mix and referrer-driven model.
• Auckland Radiology: New Zealand-based diagnostic imaging provider operating across the Auckland region; explicitly named as a trusted referral partner of Pacific Radiology for coverage outside its direct regions, indicating closely overlapping modality mix and customer base.
• Bay Radiology: NZ regional diagnostic imaging provider covering the Bay of Plenty; named as a referral partner of Pacific Radiology and competes for the same referrer and patient base across overlapping modalities.

Regional players

• InHealth Group: UK provider of diagnostic imaging, endoscopy and other community diagnostics; comparable as a private multi-modality imaging operator with NHS and insurer contracts, though serving a UK rather than NZ population.

Others

• RHCNZ (Radiology Healthcare New Zealand): Parent holding company of Pacific Radiology NZ; included because it is the corporate parent, sits above the operating brand, and is the most direct reference point for governance and capital structure of the entity analyzed.
