Expert Colonoscopy and Gut Health Care Led by a Specialist Surgeon
At Colonoscopy Brisbane, we’re dedicated to helping you achieve optimal gut health through safe, advanced, and compassionate care.
Led by Dr Goutham Sivasuthan, an Australian trained General and Endoscopic Surgeon. Having completed his medical degree at the University of Queensland with extensive experience across Brisbane’s major hospitals, our clinic provides comprehensive gastrointestinal evaluation, colonoscopy, and endoscopic treatment using the latest technology for accurate diagnosis and lasting relief.
Early detection saves lives. A colonoscopy allows our team to detect and remove bowel polyps before they progress to cancer, and to investigate symptoms such as bleeding, pain, or changes in bowel habits. Dr Goutham Sivasuthan, an Australian trained and board-certified, GESA-accredited surgeon, performs each procedure with meticulous care to ensure safety, comfort, and accurate results.
For upper-gut symptoms such as reflux, heartburn, or indigestion, a gastroscopy provides a close view of the oesophagus, stomach, and duodenum. We diagnose and treat conditions including ulcers, gastritis, Barrett’s oesophagus, and coeliac disease with high-definition endoscopic imaging.
We provide minimally invasive management for hemorrhoids and other benign anorectal conditions. Treatments such as rubber band ligation can often be performed during colonoscopy, avoiding the need for separate procedures or hospital admissions.
Your gut health affects your entire wellbeing — from digestion and energy to mood and immunity. Our comprehensive Gut Health service evaluates factors contributing to bloating, irritable bowel symptoms, food intolerance, and motility disorders. Through lifestyle guidance, nutritional support, and targeted investigations, we aim to restore digestive balance and long-term comfort.
PillCam capsule endoscopy is a specialised test that examines the small bowel, a part of the digestive tract that cannot be fully seen during standard gastroscopy or colonoscopy. By swallowing a small camera capsule, thousands of images of the small intestine are captured to help investigate conditions such as iron deficiency anaemia, unexplained bleeding, and small bowel inflammation.
The gut microbiome refers to the trillions of bacteria living in the digestive tract that influence digestion, immunity and overall health. Specialised stool testing can analyse these bacteria to provide insights into gut health and help guide personalised dietary and treatment recommendations for patients with persistent digestive symptoms.
We assess your symptoms and medical history to understand your unique needs and concerns.
Step-02
Personalised Care Plan
We take a holistic approach to understanding your digestive health. Using advanced diagnostic tools, we identify underlying factors contributing to your symptoms and tailor investigations to your individual needs. A colonoscopy may form part of this assessment, but our focus extends beyond a single test to ensure a thorough and complete evaluation of your overall gut health.
Step-03
Preparation and Procedure
We guide you through every stage of your colonoscopy with clarity and care. You’ll receive detailed, easy-to-follow bowel preparation instructions to ensure an accurate and effective examination. On the day of your procedure, our experienced team provides gentle sedation and advanced endoscopic assessment in a safe, supportive environment—ensuring comfort, precision, and peace of mind throughout your experience.
Step-04
Results and Follow-Up
After your procedure, we provide timely and clear communication of your results. Dr Goutham will explain the findings in detail, ensuring you understand every aspect of your digestive health and recommended next steps. We also coordinate directly with your GP to maintain seamless continuity of care and support your ongoing gut health management.
How much does a colonoscopy cost in Brisbane?
Most insured patients pay no out-of-pocket fee for Dr Goutham’s services. Hospital excess or anaesthetic fees may apply depending on your health fund.
Is bulk billing available for a colonoscopy?
If you have private health insurance, your procedure will generally be no-gap, meaning there is no out-of-pocket cost for the surgeon’s fee (some anaesthetist or hospital charges may still apply).
For uninsured patients, we offer fixed-price packages that include the hospital, anaesthetist, and surgeon’s fees—providing clarity and affordability.
What happens during a colonoscopy?
A colonoscopy typically takes 20–30 minutes under light sedation. Most patients return home within a few hours and can resume normal activities the following day. It’s common to feel mild bloating or wind pain for a short period after the procedure.
