This year marks an extraordinary milestone for North Coast Radiology Group (NCRG), celebrating 50 years of delivering high-quality medical imaging and patient care to communities across Northern New South Wales. 

Since its founding in 1974, NCRG has evolved from a single practice in Lismore to a trusted leader in diagnostic imaging. NCRG offers services including x-ray, ultrasound, CT, MRI, BMD, DEXA, Nuclear Medicine, dental imaging, women's imaging and pain injections.

Regional Manager Kelly Wyatt said, “We’re proud to be celebrating this key milestone, and delivering important healthcare services across the northern rivers and beyond”.

North Coast Radiology Group began when Dr. Bill Turnbull returned to his hometown of Lismore with a vision to make advanced radiology services accessible to the local community. What started as a small practice with a single receptionist soon grew into a network of clinics, expanding to Casino in 1978 and pioneering diagnostic ultrasound in 1979.

In 1980, a devastating fire destroyed the original premise.  But true to the NCRG spirit, they reopened within ten days, setting a foundation of resilience and dedication that continues to define them today. 

“Over the years, we have expanded our services and introduced MRI services in Grafton and women’s imaging and nuclear medicine in Lismore. We have a team of on-site doctors, offering greater appointment availability,  less wait times and services closer to home.” said Kelly Wyatt.

NCRG's success can be attributed to the unwavering dedication of the team, from long-standing radiologists who ensure clinical excellence to their support staff who uphold a patient-first approach. NCRG’s staff are deeply invested in serving the local community.

NCRG would like to thank their patients, healthcare partners, and dedicated team for their trust and support over the past 50 years.
