Job description

MRI Radiographer | New MRI Suites | Melbourne

Most MRI jobs mean joining someone else’s department. This one means building yours.

In most MRI roles, the protocols are set, the workflow is fixed and the way things are done was decided years before you arrived. If you’ve ever thought “I’d do this differently,” you rarely get the chance.

Here, you will.

Axis Imaging is opening new clinics in Sunshine, Glen Waverley, South Morang and Mickleham, with an MRI suite planned at every site. We’re hiring MRI Radiographers to help set them up and run them. Full-time, part-time and casual roles are available.

Why Axis is different
We started in 2025 because we think radiology has become too slow and too corporate, and patients and staff both pay for it. So we’re building clinics around the patient and giving the people who run them a real voice.

There are no layers of management and no six-month wait for an answer. You’ll work directly with our radiologists and leadership on how each suite runs, from scan protocols to patient preparation to the way the list is built.

The role
You’ll perform MRI examinations across neuro, MSK, body, spine and prostate. You’ll help commission new suites and write the protocols they run on, and you’ll look after patients who are often anxious, claustrophobic or in pain.

Day to day you’ll:

• Perform MRI examinations to protocol on new scanners
• Screen patients for MRI safety and manage the controlled zone
• Prepare patients for contrast studies, including cannulation
• Work with radiologists to build and refine protocols
• Help patients feel calm and supported through longer scans
• Help commission new suites as each clinic opens

You’ll suit this role if you have:

• Registration with AHPRA as a Medical Radiation Practitioner (Diagnostic Radiographer)
• 2+ years of MRI experience
• Solid MRI safety knowledge (MR Level 2 or equivalent)
• Cannulation competency
• Genuine care for patients, especially the nervous ones
• Flexibility to work at nearby clinics when needed
• Full working rights in Australia

What you get

• Competitive pay
• Brand-new MRI suites
• A real say in protocols, workflow and how the service grows
• A team that pitches in for each other
• Room to move up: four suites plus more coming will need MRI leads
