Travel Medicine & Vaccinations

Your Doctor offers a current and comprehensive travel medicine service. They provide a convenient service that is tailored to each individual’s personal needs and itinerary.

Your doctor can provide you with advice regarding malaria prophylaxis and other medications that may be recommended for your travel including most travel vaccinations, which are available on site including yellow fever vaccination.

Making an Appointment

• Please advise reception the appointment is for travel medicine or select the appropriate appointment online.

• Allow six weeks before your departure date for the first visit to maximize vaccine coverage. This is not always possible but is ideal. Your Doctor can still help you stay well while travelling whatever your departure date.

Fees

• The initial consult fee starts from $110. Fees will depend on the length and complexity of your appointment.

• You will be eligible for a Medicare rebate.

• Vaccines will incur an additional fee. If you have private insurance with pharmaceutical cover, you may be able to claim a portion of the vaccine costs.

For the appointment

• Please bring along details of your travel plans including the length of your trip, your accommodation and planned or possible activities. These are important factors when advising you regarding travel health so that we can give you the best possible advice.

• Alert the doctor if you have any allergies, chronic illnesses, or take any medications. If you are new to our practice, a health summary from your usual GP may be helpful.
