What is CHMI?

The first mobile imaging service of its kind in the Central Highlands.

Central Highlands Mobile Imaging brings diagnostic ultrasound directly to aged care facilities across Ballarat and the Central Highlands — the first service of its kind in the region.

Founded by a senior sonographer who saw the logistical burden firsthand, CHMI was built on one conviction: the scan should come to the patient, not the other way around.

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. The experience for your residents is incomparably better.

What changes for your facility
No transport. No coordination burden. No staffing gaps. Residents scanned in their own room — scheduling built around your operations, not ours.

Why CHMI exists
"The patient shouldn't have to travel to the clinic.
Instead, the clinic comes to the patient."

Every week across aged care homes in regional Victoria, the same quiet burden plays out — a referral written, transport coordinated, a frail resident transferred to a busy clinic and returned exhausted. CHMI was founded by a senior sonographer who saw this gap from the inside. The solution wasn't a new technology. It was a fundamentally different model of care delivery — one built around the patient, not the clinic.
