How prices are calculated

  • Prices in AUD, recorded from provider websites with the page address and the date each was observed (19 to 21 Oct 2026). 28 provider locations have a dexa body composition scan price recorded.
  • The median and middle 50% use one price per business: the lowest single starting, fixed or range price any of its locations publishes for dexa body composition scan. A chain with many locations counts once.
  • Prices recorded as per unit, per area, course, package or consultation fee, and amounts flagged as implausible, are left out. A starting or fixed price whose own wording adds a unit such as “per session” is included as published.
  • Prices in this sample, by business: 24 with no unit stated, 1 with another unit (for example per service, per area or a number of sessions). The median combines these bases.
  • No median is shown from fewer than 5 businesses. Cities are compared only where their own sample reaches 5.
  • A starting price is the lowest advertised entry price. It is not a quote or the cost of a full course of service.
  • Providers are listed by name, A to Z, or by the date the provider website was last checked. This is not a ranking or recommendation.

How recorded dexa body composition scan prices are structured, by provider location: fixed price 28; package price 5; course price 4; starting price (“from”) 4; price per unit 2; price range 1. A location can publish several types.

Branches and brand websites

Many chains publish one service menu and price list for every location; confirm services and prices with the location. A website check date describes when the information was collected. It does not confirm practitioner credentials, availability or outcomes.
