Travel Medicine

Planning international travel involves more than flights and accommodation; your health needs careful preparation too. Travel medicine helps protect you from preventable illnesses and health risks before, during, and after your trip.

At Healthcare on Collins, multiple Doctors are available to provide you with pre and post-travel medicine advice and treatment. It is important to note that a consultation is necessary in order to determine your individual needs.

Travel Vaccinations in Melbourne – The Consultation Process

During your consultation, your doctor will take into account your travel itinerary, style of accommodation, activities while travelling, past medical history, allergies and a range of other factors.

They will then recommend the appropriate and necessary vaccinations and/or medications required for your trip. Your doctors will provide individual medical advice on international health risks on a location-by-location basis, provide a full range of vaccinations on-site, as well as assess malaria risk and advise on strategies to prevent other insect-borne diseases.

It is important that you allow 30-45 minutes for your consultation and bring your travel itinerary, vaccination records, and details of any medication you are regularly or intermittently taking. If you are travelling for long periods and through multiple countries, it is often necessary to have more than one consultation.

Depending on the complexity and length of your travel consultation, the fee will vary between $118.00 and $214.00, in addition to vaccination costs. Most travel vaccinations and medications are available for purchase through Healthcare on Collins, including Yellow Fever vaccines and travel diarrhea kits, and official World Health Authority Vaccination Booklets.

Yellow Fever Vaccination

If you are planning to travel to a country where Yellow Fever is endemic, it is important to note that Healthcare on Collins is a Department of Health approved Yellow Fever Vaccination Centre and many doctors are individually accredited to administer the Yellow Fever Vaccine.
