Looks like if I wanted a colonoscopy I would need to go private. Which would cost me 2-4 thousand NZD. So $1500 - 3300 USD. :(

Which suggests that the doctors don't think it's necessary for you to have a colonoscopy. I would only have one if really needed to :/

You're right. I will hopefully get a referral to gastro at least. If an expert in the field thinks it's not necessary I will feel better. I will have too!
I assume that you've spoken to a doctor about something troubling you?

Yep
Rennie is right. Doc doesn't think you need one. That's the best outcome.

I just found out today that a Dr died from bowel cancer. He was only 33. I am so afraid. He had it and now he's gone.
Have you had blood tests? Faecal calprotectin test?
Much cheaper than a colonoscopy and will tell you if you actually need one - at which point, your doctor would refer you.
Again, as others have said, if your doctor hasn't already asked for these, he/she doesn't think you need them.
Last blood tests were all fine, they were about a month ago. Had another cbc done last week and when i called nurse she said they looked fine. Also submitted a FOBT on Friday which I will know results of on Tuesday when I see my GP
