Pregnancy Scans

Pregnancy scans ( also known as prenatal or obstetric ultrasounds ), use sound waves to create images of the baby and womb, helping to scan for pregnancy confirmation, estimate the due date, and check for multiple pregnancies (such as twins or triplets).

They also play a vital role in detecting congenital abnormalities, monitoring the baby's growth and position, and assessing the overall condition of the pregnancy, including the placenta and amniotic fluid levels. This will help to make sure you're safe during pregnancy and to watch for some of the risks pregnancies can encounter.

Scans during pregnancy give valuable information to expectant mothers and healthcare providers, to ensure that both mother and baby receive the best possible support throughout the pregnancy journey.

Booking Ultrasound Services

  1. You need a referral from your health professional to be able to book an appointment for an ultrasound. You can upload or email your referral from our booking page.
  2. Scans must be booked in advance, online. Click the Booking button below.
  3. If you have previous scans which are relevant, please bring them with you. This may reduce the number of scans or other tests you need and improve the accuracy of the report.

How to prepare for the test

Your preparation is important, and will depend on the part of the body being examined. Upon booking refer to Step 3 for instructions on preparation for your scan.

How long will my scan take?

Please note that all timings are estimates only. Scanning times may vary due to operator and patient factors. We allocate the time indicated however many scans do not require the full time given.

However, some obstetric scans can take longer than expected , for example Anatomy scans where the baby's position obstructs some of the views required to complete the scan; or complex pelvic scans. This added scanning work also requires additional time for reporting.

In these situations, we reserve the right to charge an extended scanning fee of $50 if additional time ( up to 10 min ) is required to complete the scan. This can potentially avoid us having to rebook for a follow up scan and therefore save patients additional time and effort to return for another scan. You will be advised at the time of your scan if this charge is necessary.
