Before You Travel

Visit us 6–12 weeks before departure so your body has time to build immunity. Your vaccination needs depend on factors like age, health, vaccination history, destination, and length of stay. Our doctors will assess your travel plans, review your immunisation record, and recommend necessary vaccines or boosters.

Safe Travels

Vaccinations for Travel

Many diseases overseas are preventable. Common vaccines include:

Hepatitis A and Typhoid common in parts of Asia, Africa, and South America
Yellow Fever – required for travel to certain countries (we are an accredited centre)
Japanese Encephalitis – for extended rural stays in Asia or the Torres Strait
Meningococcal, Rabies, and Tuberculosis (BCG) – for specific destinations or higher-risk travellers

We also ensure your routine vaccinations (MMR, DTP, Polio, Influenza, etc.) are up to date before travel.

Even with vaccination, practising safe habits is vital to avoid illness while overseas.
