RHCNZ

What RHCNZ does

RHCNZ Medical Imaging Group is New Zealand's largest private radiology provider, operating 65+ clinics nationwide through three regional sub-brands: Auckland Radiology (14 clinics), Bay Radiology (10 clinics in the Bay of Plenty) and Pacific Radiology (45 clinics). The group delivers more than 35% of all radiology services in New Zealand, supported by a network of 170+ specialist radiologists and 1,400+ staff. Service offerings span MRI, CT, PET-CT, ultrasound, mammography, X-ray, fluoroscopy and interventional procedures, with notable sub-specialty capabilities including CT Colonography for bowel cancer screening and a first-in-New-Zealand combined MR and PET-CT brain imaging methodology developed with international research partners.

RHCNZ operates a fee-for-service revenue model billed across a hybrid payer mix comprising individual patients, private health insurers (including Southern Cross), ACC for accident-related imaging, and Te Whatu Ora for public health system referrals. Distribution is direct through the clinic network, with patient demand driven by referrals from GPs, specialists and oncologists, supplemented by self-referral for selected services. The group runs a 12-month subspecialty fellowship programme, hundreds of ongoing clinical trials, and active research collaborations — including work on deep-learning MRI reconstruction — positioning it as a clinically-led organisation with academic depth. AI capability is nascent, currently comprising evaluation of third-party ultrasound reporting AI and internal deep-learning imaging studies rather than proprietary AI products.

Ownership is 50.1% held by Infratil, a New Zealand-listed infrastructure investor, with the balance held by radiologist-shareholders across the three operating brands and RHCNZ management. The group is part of the broader Infratil healthcare network alongside Australian peer Qscan, with shared board leadership and cross-Tasman research collaboration. RHCNZ is in an active expansion phase, with recent clinic launches in North Hamilton and Te Kōhao Health (April 2024), ARG Te Tai Tokerau in Northland (2025), a flagship Remuera clinic (December 2025) and a planned Dunedin branch (2026), accompanied by investment in advanced PET-CT and SPECT-CT technology.

Scale indicators8 records

Recent moves10 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Emerging players

• 4DMedical Limited: ASX-listed lung imaging technology company; RHCNZ Board Chair John Livingston is a Non-Executive Director. Emerging player with adjacent imaging technology focus rather than direct clinic competition, but useful comparable for tech-enabled imaging business models.

Direct peers

• Qscan Group: Australian radiology operator and sister company to RHCNZ under shared Infratil ownership. Provides comparable diagnostic imaging services across Australia, with active knowledge-sharing and clinical trial collaboration directly referenced by RHCNZ's Director of Clinical Research.
• I-MED Radiology Network: Largest private diagnostic imaging network in Australasia, operating across Australia. Directly comparable business model (multi-site clinics, MRI/CT/PET, specialist radiologists) but at significantly larger scale; sets the benchmark for clinical and operational scale RHCNZ could pursue.
• Capitol Health Limited: ASX-listed Australian radiology operator focused on diagnostic imaging across metropolitan and regional sites. Comparable multi-clinic model with similar modality mix (MRI, CT, ultrasound), serving as a smaller-scale public peer for capital allocation and growth benchmarking.
• Lake Imaging: Regional Australian radiology operator founded by RHCNZ Board Chair John Livingston. Operates similar diagnostic imaging services across Victoria, providing a useful comparison point for regional clinic economics and clinician-ownership models RHCNZ employs.
• Integral Diagnostics (IDX): ASX-listed radiology provider operating diagnostic imaging clinics across Australia and New Zealand. Closest publicly-traded comparable; RHCNZ Board Chair John Livingston was former CEO/Managing Director, signaling operational and strategic alignment.

Broad incumbents

• Sonic Healthcare Limited: Global diagnostic healthcare giant with radiology operations across Australia (e.g., SKG Radiology, Queensland X-Ray). Pathology-led but a major radiology incumbent; comparable at scale and benchmark for enterprise diagnostic provider economics.
• Healius Limited (Lumus Imaging): ASX-listed healthcare group whose Lumus Imaging arm operates one of Australia's largest diagnostic imaging networks. Broader incumbent with pathology, day hospitals, and primary care alongside imaging, but overlaps directly with RHCNZ in modality and service offering.

Others

• Comrad Medical Systems: Radiology Information System (RIS) software vendor with strong New Zealand presence; RHCNZ Board Chair John Livingston is also Chair of Comrad. Adjacent ecosystem participant providing workflow technology to radiology providers like RHCNZ.
