Receiving a positive result to an FOBT can be a bit of a shock. All sorts of questions come up, but the main thing that worries people is “Do I have Bowel Cancer?”.

POSiTiVE FOBT aims to guide patients clearly and simply through the process of what to do next, with a straightforward step by step process, starting with getting a referral to a Gastroenterologist.

You can get a referral from your GP and for patients based in Melbourne, Gippsland and Bass Coast, POSiTiVE FOBT can also organise a prompt appointment with a Nurse Practitioner for a referral and consultation with a Gastroenterologist for a colonoscopy via independent Gastroenterologists working in Private and Public Hospitals all around Melbourne.

If you’re not based in those areas, you can still follow the guidelines and utilise the resources on this website to help you on your care pathway following your positive result.
