Your residents need imaging.
We bring it to you.

CHMI comes to your facility with professional ultrasound equipment — so your residents are scanned onsite, in familiar surroundings, without the burden of transport.

The current reality

Coordinating external imaging is one of the most time-consuming tasks your team faces.

A GP writes a referral. From that moment, the burden falls on your team. Book an appointment — weeks away. Arrange transport. Coordinate an escort. Prepare the resident. Manage their anxiety. Handle the return. Chase the report.

For residents living with dementia, frailty, or disability, the journey itself can be distressing. For your staff, it absorbs time that should go to care. This is the way it has always been done — but it doesn't have to be.

The cost no one measures
Every external imaging appointment costs your facility in staff time, escort coordination, and resident disruption — before a single scan is taken.

A different way

What if the scan came to your facility instead?

CHMI is a mobile diagnostic ultrasound service. We bring professional imaging equipment directly to your aged care facility, clinic, or practice — and perform accredited, radiologist-reported scans onsite.

Your residents are scanned in a familiar room. Their daily routine is preserved. Your staff are not pulled away from care. The report goes directly to the referring GP — electronically, fast.

This is not a scaled-back version of clinical imaging. The equipment, the reporting standard, and the Medicare compliance are identical to a fixed imaging centre. What changes is where it happens.

"The scan doesn't need to come to the clinic. The clinic needs to come to the patient."
What you get

Everything your facility needs. Nothing it doesn't.

Flexible scheduling
CHMI works around your facility's routines and operational needs. Block sessions are available — scan multiple residents in a single visit, minimising disruption and coordination overhead.
No transport. No disruption.
Residents are scanned onsite — in their own room or a consulting space within your facility. No transport coordination. No staffing gaps. No distressed returns.
Radiologist-certified reporting
Every scan is reported by an accredited radiologist and delivered electronically to the referring GP. The clinical standard is identical to a fixed imaging centre.
Medicare compliant. Bulk billing available.
CHMI operates within the Medicare framework. There are no unexpected costs for your facility or your residents' families.
A duty-of-care advantage
Offering onsite imaging reflects positively on how your facility prioritises resident wellbeing. It reduces burden on families and demonstrates genuine clinical commitment.
Who benefits most

The residents who need this most are the ones least able to travel.

CHMI was built for the people the current system leaves behind.

The elderly and frail
Physical transfer carries real clinical risk. Falls, fatigue, and pain make the journey itself a burden. Onsite scanning eliminates that risk and allows residents to be scanned in a position that supports their comfort.
People living with dementia
Unfamiliar environments trigger agitation and distress. A busy radiology clinic is precisely the wrong setting. Scanning in a known, calm space produces better clinical conditions and a fundamentally better experience.
People facing mental health challenges
For residents with significant anxiety or conditions that make clinical environments difficult, a radiology waiting room can be a genuine barrier to care. CHMI offers a quieter, more controlled alternative.
Residents across Ballarat and the Central Highlands
Distance compounds every barrier. CHMI's service across Ballarat and the Central Highlands means geography is no longer a reason to delay or forgo imaging.
