Frequently Asked
Travel Medicine — your questions answered
How far in advance should I book?
Ideally 6–8 weeks before departure. Many vaccines need 2 doses spaced weeks apart, and immunity takes time to develop.
How much does it cost?
The consultation is bulk-billed. Travel vaccines and malaria tablets are not on the NIP, so they have a private cost — varies by vaccine. See the table above.
Do you do yellow fever vaccinations?
We don't administer the yellow fever vaccine on-site. We will, however, refer you to an accredited yellow fever vaccination centre and include it as part of your pre-departure plan.
What about COVID-19 requirements for travel?
We can advise on the latest COVID-19 entry requirements for your destination and ensure you have current boosters if needed.
Can children get travel vaccines?
Yes — most travel vaccines are licensed from age 1+. Some have age restrictions. We assess based on age and destination.
Do you provide malaria prevention?
Yes — we prescribe doxycycline, atovaquone-proguanil (Malarone) or mefloquine depending on your destination, health and budget.
