Grants, compliance and end-to-end solutions
If you run an Urgent Care Clinic (UCC) in a rural or remote part of Australia, you may already know the government is offering x-ray system grants and funding. These grants allow clinics to install an x-ray machine (X-ray system) onsite, reducing the need for patients to travel long distances or wait at hospitals for diagnostic imaging.
But most clinic owners quickly discover that getting an x-ray system for an urgent care clinic is not just about buying the equipment. The real challenge is working through the radiation safety legislation, licensing approvals, compliance reports, and building works that go with it.
That’s where Medic Cloud comes in.

Title: X-Ray System Grant for Rural and Remote Urgent Care ClinicsDuration: 05:42
Sam, Medic Cloud Managing Director
We’ve done the legal groundwork so you don’t have to
Installing an x-ray machine in a rural urgent care clinic requires navigating complex rules that differ from state to state. You’ll need:
- A radiation management plan in line with ARPANSA codes.
- The right licences and approvals for your clinic to legally operate an x-ray system.
- Compliance with shielding requirements and room design regulations.
Unlike general equipment suppliers, Medic Cloud has spent months carrying out the legal groundwork to make this process easier for you. We know the legislation, the licensing pathways, and the compliance paperwork required to get your x-ray system grant approved and we guide you through every step.
A complete project management service
Buying an x-ray machine is only one part of the journey. You also need to prepare the room, meet shielding requirements, and coordinate trades. Medic Cloud provides a complete end-to-end service that includes:
- Creating compliant floor plans for your clinic.
- Engaging accredited compliance teams to produce mandatory shielding reports.
- Project managing the builders, electricians, and trades needed for room fit-out and x-ray installation.
- Coordinating the schedule so your clinic avoids costly delays.
- Handing over a fully compliant, ready-to-use x-ray system with PACS integration.
Hand-picked equipment designed for UCCs
We understand the realities of running a UCC in a rural or remote area. Staff are stretched, budgets are tight, and the equipment has to be reliable and easy to use. That’s why we’ve carefully selected digital x-ray machines that are:
- User-friendly – suitable for staff who are not trained radiographers.
- Grant-friendly – priced to fit within government funding caps.
- Bundled with PACS – no need to worry about image storage or sharing, it’s already included.
- Reliable and robust – built to last with minimal downtime.
- Instructional Images and explanations during x-ray procedures
This means your clinic gets an x-ray system (digital DR X-ray machine) that works straight out of the box, without the guesswork.
Compliance, licensing and support – Covered
Our service doesn’t end with installation. We also:
- Guide you through the state radiation licence application process.
- Ensure your clinic complies with radiation safety codes and ALARA principles.
- Provide training for your staff so they can confidently operate the x-ray machine.
- Offer ongoing maintenance and support to keep your imaging service running smoothly.
