As each family member will require an individual travel and risk assessment, an appointment is needed for all travellers (including children). This is also good medical practice and meets Medicare requirements.

Please ring to speak to reception if you travelling with family/children and we will advise you regarding costs and booking. Children under 16 travelling with adult family members will be charged the medicare rate.

Travel vaccinations are generally not covered by Medicare or the PBS. If you have private health insurance you may be able to claim back a portion of the cost of vaccinations from your health fund.

Vaccination costs must be paid in full on the day of your vaccination - prices can fluctuate but depending on the vaccine can range between $35 and $155 per dose. A full price list is available from reception or your doctor.

We understand that travel vaccines may seem expensive, but they should be viewed as an investment in your health. Most travel vaccinations (with some exceptions) will provide protection during future trips, and some will provide lifelong protection.

Ideally at least 6 weeks before your trip - however if you have a last-minute trip planned you should still come and see us to discuss because many vaccinations can be given at short notice.
