Can I get free access to a MRI Medical record of mine in Victoria Australia?

I had a Mri for back injuries at a Hospital, The report was then sent to a specialist and my GP, The Specialist and the GP have told me that I have disc bulges and Arthritis, But refuse to give me a Copy of the MRI report. Can I get a Copy from the Hospital? And If so can I get it for free? I did look all over google for information but it was no help.

Update:

I'm good now I went over the Doctors head and got it from the Hospital.

    A cooperative physician is what you need. That can be anyone you are currently going to even if that physician is not in the related field. Have that physician get the record for you. Much cheaper.

    You can do the same thing yourself if you go to that facility where you had this MRI, but it will cost you. You can also request the original film, telling the facility that Dr X wanted the original in his office.

    The doctors see these xrays by computer so do not need the originals really. That's why you don't see a bunch of xrays lying around at their offices.
