Colonoscopy in Canberra

Who treats colonoscopy?

A colonoscopy is arranged through a referral, usually from your GP, to a specialist such as a gastroenterologist. Common reasons include a positive bowel cancer screening test, bleeding, or a change in bowel habit.

Start with your GP: they can assess you, arrange tests and write the referral you need for a Medicare rebate. General information only, not medical advice.
