Average fees per exam in Australia increased 6.5%, driven by Medicare indexation and an ongoing shift to higher-end CT, MRI and PET scan modalities.

About Integral Diagnostics
Integral Diagnostics Ltd is an ASX-listed diagnostic imaging services provider. Following its merger with Capitol Health in December 2024, IDX operates a combined network of imaging clinics across Australia and New Zealand, offering services including MRI, CT, PET, ultrasound and general X-ray. The company also operates the IDXt teleradiology platform, which supports remote reporting capability across its network.
Sector Context
The ASX healthcare sector traded positively on 05 November 2026, with the Health Care sub-index gaining 3.64%. Diagnostic imaging services companies have benefited from Medicare indexation increases, the National Lung Cancer Screening Program and MRI de-regulation, which have expanded access and referral volumes. The sector also saw continued consolidation activity, with scale operators like IDX benefiting from synergy realisation and operational leverage.
Risks
Key risks include the dependence on Medicare funding settings and indexation, which could change with government policy. The legacy Capitol business showed lower organic growth than the IDX business, and closing that gap remains an integration priority. Foreign currency movements affect New Zealand operations. Competition from other imaging providers, changing referral patterns and radiologist workforce availability also pose considerations.
Catalysts on Watch
Near-term catalysts include continued margin expansion from Capitol Health synergies, growth in higher-value imaging modalities such as MRI and PET, expansion of the IDXt teleradiology platform, further Leverage reduction, and any additional Medicare policy changes or screening programme expansions that could drive referral volumes.
The Bigger Picture
IDX's FY26 result demonstrated the Earnings uplift from the Capitol Health merger, with operating NPAT growing 50% and the EBITDA margin expanding. The company's focus on integration completion, margin expansion and de-leveraging positions it to capture ongoing growth in diagnostic imaging demand. The pace of organic revenue growth in the legacy Capitol clinics will be a key metric to monitor going forward.
