Pre-Travel Health Planning
Booking a travel vaccination consultation before you leave Australia can help protect your health while travelling. During your appointment, your doctor will review your destination, the length of your stay, your planned activities and your immunisation history. This helps determine which vaccines are recommended for your trip.
- Destination-Based Vaccinations: Depending on your travel destination, vaccines for yellow fever, typhoid, hepatitis A and B, and Japanese encephalitis may be recommended.
- Health Advice: Your doctor may discuss other health risks such as malaria, foodborne illnesses and traveller’s diarrhoea, depending on your itinerary.
- Vaccination Schedules: Some vaccines require more than one dose or need to be given a few weeks before travel. Your doctor will help plan your schedule.
- Documentation & Certificates: We provide certificates for yellow fever vaccination and other travel documents where required by international travel guidelines.
Speak with our reception team to book your travel health consultation well before your departure date.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should I book a travel vaccination consultation?
It is recommended to book a travel vaccination consultation at least six to eight weeks before your departure date. Some vaccinations require multiple doses spaced over several weeks, while others may take time to provide protection. Early planning also gives you time to discuss health risks specific to your destination, such as mosquito-borne illnesses or food safety concerns. Booking in advance helps ensure you have enough time to complete your vaccinations before travel.
What vaccinations might I need for overseas travel?
The vaccinations required for travel depend on your destination, the length of your trip and your planned activities. Common travel vaccines include yellow fever, typhoid, hepatitis A and B, rabies and Japanese encephalitis. Your doctor will review the latest health advice for your destination and help determine which vaccines are recommended for you. In some cases, proof of vaccination is required for entry into certain countries or regions.
Do I need a yellow fever certificate for travel?
Some countries require proof of yellow fever vaccination before entry, particularly if you are travelling from or through an area where yellow fever is present. Yellow fever vaccination must be administered at an accredited practice, and you will be provided with an official yellow fever vaccination certificate. Your doctor will let you know whether this is required for your destination and how long before travel the vaccine should be administered.
Are travel vaccinations covered by Medicare?
Most travel vaccinations are not covered by Medicare, although your consultation with a doctor may be if it meets Medicare billing criteria. Vaccine costs can vary depending on the type of vaccine and where it is sourced. Some travel vaccinations are only available through private purchase. During your appointment, your doctor will explain the costs involved, and the practice will provide a quote for any vaccines recommended for your trip.
