X-Ray Referrals Heathwood
X-ray Referrals for Heathwood Patients
Residents of Heathwood can book a GP appointment at Pallara Medical, Tenancy T4.1, 201 Gooderham Road. You can book online in under a minute, choosing your doctor, day and time. New patients are welcome, and you can fill in the Health Summary Form before your first visit.
Common Reasons for an X-ray
GPs often request X-rays for suspected fractures, joint pain, ongoing coughs or chest symptoms, and to check how an injury is healing. Your doctor will explain why imaging is or isn’t needed in your case.
Once your X-ray has been completed at the imaging centre, the report and images are sent directly and securely to our clinic for your GP’s review. For medico-legal and privacy reasons, we do not accept physical X-ray images directly from patients; all results are downloaded electronically into our system.
From childhood immunisations to managing long-term conditions, a GP clinic can provide continuity of care and a holistic approach. And when you’re looking for a GP near me, Pallara Medical is a local option close to home.
We empower you with clear, evidence-based information, often utilising visual aids and detailed handouts, to help you feel confident and comfortable with the decision you make. Our team remains a dedicated resource for any questions or concerns that may arise, offering ongoing support and adjustments to your plan as your personal and health needs evolve, fostering a true partnership.
Work and Sport Injuries
If you’ve hurt yourself at work or playing sport, your GP can assess the injury, arrange imaging and, for work injuries, complete WorkCover paperwork.

Choosing an Imaging Provider
Your GP can talk with you about imaging providers in the area. Some imaging may be bulk billed and some may have a fee, so it’s worth checking with the provider before your appointment.
Should your health journey require further investigation, our GPs provide referrals for X-rays to specialist imaging centres. This helps your GP get the information needed for an accurate assessment, forming a vital part of your comprehensive and tailored care plan.
