RANCS Agreement for Cooktown Endoscopy Project to Expand Rural Colonoscopy Services
Awarded 01 Nov 2025
About
Torres and Cape HHS awarded a contract to Metro South Hospital and Health Service for the Rural Adaptive Networked Colonoscopy Service (RANCS) Agreement – Cooktown Endoscopy Project, funded by approximately $2.145 million in Commonwealth funding under a Federation Funding Agreement – Health.
The agreement, running from execution until 30 June 2026, involves a networked inter-HHS collaboration between Torres and Cape HHS, Metro South HHS, and Central Queensland HHS to deliver outreach gastroenterology and colonoscopy triage services to rural and remote populations.
The RANCS model uses a service for endoscopic equipment supplies and reprocessing that eliminates large capital outlays for automated endoscope reprocessing machines, storage cabinets, and cleaning galleys by performing high-grade disinfection and sterilisation offsite, enabling low-volume endoscopic services locally where procedural sedation and safe recovery are available.
