IMPACT Radiology Redefines Local Imaging Services in Northern Tasmania

IMPACT Radiology is setting a new benchmark for community-based healthcare delivery in Northern Tasmania. As a fully Tasmanian-owned and operated diagnostic imaging provider in the region, the practice has quickly become a trusted name in high-quality, accessible, and efficient imaging services.

Established by a radiologist and radiographer, IMPACT Radiology was built from the ground up to address the growing demand for timely medical imaging in our region. Free from corporate restraints, IMPACT Radiology operates independently, with all decisions made locally by its on-site radiology team, who are directly involved in patient care and dedicated to serving our community.

The practice delivers an average scan-to-report turnaround time of just over two hours, with all reports completed within 24 working hours. Same-day access to image-guided procedures is available for clinically urgent cases, and the service routinely supports urgent care centres and helps manage overflow from Launceston General Hospital.

Every staff member—from reception to radiologist—is based on-site, ensuring seamless coordination and personalised service. This model not only enhances efficiency but also creates valuable local employment opportunities across clinical and administrative roles.

IMPACT Radiology’s impact extends beyond patient care. As a Tasmanian-owned business, profits are reinvested directly into local infrastructure, allowing for continuous upgrades, service expansion, and technological investment without reliance on external shareholders.

The practice represents a rare example of a radiologist-led service that is truly embedded in the local healthcare ecosystem. Its independence allows it to prioritise patient needs over commercial pressures, making it an increasingly vital part of the region’s healthcare landscape.

With plans to expand services further and upgrade diagnostic infrastructure, IMPACT Radiology continues to demonstrate that a locally driven, patient-focused approach can transform healthcare delivery for regional communities.
