Travel Medicine

Travelling overseas can expose you to health risks that may not be present in Australia. A pre-travel consultation helps ensure you are properly prepared and protected before you depart.

At Calamvale Family Practice, we provide personalised travel health advice based on your destination, length of stay, planned activities and individual medical history.

Pre-Travel Consultations

During your consultation, your doctor will:

  • Review your vaccination history
  • Assess destination-specific health risks
  • Recommend required or suggested vaccinations
  • Provide advice on food and water safety
  • Discuss mosquito-borne illnesses and prevention
  • Provide guidance on managing existing medical conditions while travelling

We recommend booking your appointment at least 6–8 weeks prior to departure, as some vaccines require multiple doses.

Travel Vaccinations

We offer a range of travel vaccines, including:

  • Hepatitis A & B
  • Typhoid
  • Tetanus boosters
  • Whooping cough
  • Measles-mumps-rubella (MMR)
  • Other destination-specific vaccines (subject to availability)

Some travel vaccines may need to be ordered in advance. Please advise reception of your destination when booking.

Travel Health Advice

In addition to vaccinations, we can provide advice on:

  • Malaria prevention
  • Traveller’s diarrhoea management
  • Motion sickness
  • Safe travel with prescription medications
  • Travel insurance medical requirements

Our goal is to help you travel confidently, knowing your health has been properly considered before you leave.
