01 / PUBLISHED FEES
What each appointment costs.
The branch-verified Canberra listing is the hospital BMD service in Garran. This is diagnostic bone density, with an appointment arranged after the service receives a referral. Garran Medical Imaging also publishes a DEXA service page covering composition, but it does not publish a fee or identify the DEXA branch on that page. Confirm the location directly before travelling.
Prices are in AUD. Each row has its own check date and provider source. Compare the examination and inclusions, not just the number. A consultation, referral assessment, weekend booking or combined examination may carry a different fee.

Garran Medical Imaging: Its service page confirms whole-body DEXA composition and bone densitometry. We could not verify a public price. Request a quote and confirm the appointment location. Provider source · Checked 14 October 2026.
Clinics with a published price appear first, then names are alphabetical. Provider links open the clinic’s own site. A listing is a record of published services, not a clinical recommendation.
Location access is optional and stays in your browser. Distances are straight-line estimates, not driving distances. Postcode text search matches clinic addresses.
The map shows the listed locations in Garran. Check the street address in your appointment confirmation. Ask about parking, step-free access and the time to allow, especially if you are travelling for a particular examination.
Browse the wider ACT directory. Regional listings are kept on the state page rather than counted as clinics in Canberra.
04 / BEFORE YOU BOOK
Do you need a referral?
These are clinic statements, not a single rule for Canberra or ACT. A booking button does not establish that you can attend without a referral. Confirm who can refer, the information needed and whether an assessment has an extra fee.
Canberra Hospital BMD service
A GP or specialist referral is required. Check access and any out-of-pocket fee with the service.
The MBS bone densitometry items cover diagnostic bone density under specified clinical criteria. They do not provide an item for a general body composition appointment. Ask the clinic to confirm eligibility, referral and the out-of-pocket fee for your examination before booking.
The examination. Match the appointment to your question or referral. Check whether diagnostic hip and spine imaging is included or needs a separate booking.
The total price. Ask whether the report, referral assessment and a results discussion are included. Confirm any additional fee before paying.
The practical details. Get preparation instructions for the exact examination. Tell the clinic about access needs and ask how long the whole visit takes.
Your previous scan. Tell the clinic where and when it was done. Ask what records it needs to decide whether the results can be compared.
Price not published for the branch-verified listings on this page. Ask the clinic for the total fee for your examination. A missing price does not mean a free appointment or automatic Medicare coverage.
Can I book without a referral?
Booking requirements depend on the provider and examination. The referral section quotes the position published by each listed clinic, with a source and date. Where the position is not stated, ask the clinic rather than assuming a referral is unnecessary.
Does body composition include diagnostic bone density?
Do not assume these appointments are interchangeable. Check whether the booking is for whole-body composition or a diagnostic hip and spine assessment. Give the clinic the wording on your referral if you have one.
Is this every DEXA clinic in Canberra?
No. This page covers 1 selected, branch-verified location. Coverage is incomplete. A missing clinic or service may still be available. Send a correction or suggested listing with a provider source through our contact page.
Something changed? Send a clinic correction with a link to the provider’s published information. We check sources rather than inventing an unavailable price or assuming that every branch offers the same service.
