Planning an overseas trip? A travel health appointment can help you stay healthy and prepared while you’re away.
Your doctor will consider where you’re travelling, how long you’ll be away, your planned activities and your medical history. They can then recommend vaccinations, medications and health precautions for your destination.
Travel advice may include:
- Recommended travel vaccinations
- Malaria prevention and avoiding mosquito-borne illnesses
- Food and water safety
- Managing your regular medications overseas
- Travelling safely with existing health conditions
- Travel first aid and general health advice
Travel vaccinations
We do not stock every travel vaccine at the clinic. If you need a vaccine we don’t have, your doctor can provide a prescription. You can collect the vaccine from a nearby pharmacy and return to the clinic, where your doctor or one of our nurses can give it to you.
Book early
Ideally, book your travel health appointment at least 6 weeks before you leave. Some vaccinations need to be given well before travel to provide the best protection.
Travelling overseas? Book an appointment with your doctor to discuss your travel health needs.
