Who We Are

Our Objective

At MRI, our mission is to improve patron safety and enhance event experience by delivering comprehensive medical coverage through our innovative Event Field Hospital structure. Our event medical provisions aim to relieve traditional medical centers, urgent care providers and Emergency Ambulance Services by operating our facilities with Emergency Doctors, Nurses and Paramedics capable of triaging, treating, diagnosing and prescribing where necessary.

Our Commitment

Our commitment extends beyond event support; we strive to be a trusted partner in community health, delivering high-quality care wherever it’s needed. MRI aims to deliver pop-up medical hubs capable of supporting public clinics with high influx, with the intent to relieve pressure or health providers, and support community health and wellbeing

With MRI, you can be rest assured knowing that your event is backed by a dedicated team ready to prioritise safety, health, and patron experience.
