Easy Access Colonoscopy

Easy Access Colonoscopy (EAC) enables healthy, age-appropriate patients to undergo a screening colonoscopy without an initial consultation or visit.
‍
The goal of an EAC is to limit the amount of time you have to spend away from work or home, by minimising the number of specialist appointments you would normally be required attend before undergoing a colonoscopy.

Easy Access Colonoscopy Criteria

To proceed with an EAC, you are required to have:

1
Medical referral
2
Private hospital insurance
