Our History

 

Qscan Radiology Clinics was founded in 2006, by six renowned subspecialist radiologists who had a bold vision: to deliver hospital-grade radiology services directly to Australian communities. 

Our founders had an unwavering commitment to innovation and premium patient care and set out to transform the medical imaging landscape. 

Since our flagship clinic opened in Windsor in 2007, the Qscan Group has grown to include more than 75 clinics, 10 teleradiology contracts and 4 on-site hospital contracts. 

Through strategic acquisitions and the establishment of new clinics, we’ve expanded our footprint across Australia, servicing metropolitan, regional and remote communities.
