Radiography Careers
Radiography is an exciting, fulfilling career that bridges advanced technology with patient-centred care.
Radiographers care for patients using a range of fascinating technology to diagnose, investigate or treat patients with illness, conditions, and injuries.
They work with people through all stages of their life from before birth, including fertility support and specialist prenatal imaging, right the way through to end-of-life care and occasionally beyond.
Everyday radiographers see the difference they make to people’s lives. Providing compassionate respectful care towards patients, their families, friends, or carers, is essential in this career.
