Parkville travel health
Parkville Travel Health can accommodate a range of travellers, including travellers with complex underlying medical issues. Appointments are suitable for individuals travelling for a range of purposes including business, leisure, overseas aid work, volunteer work and overseas postings.
Specialists are available for consultation each Wednesday afternoon. See our team of rotating Infectious Diseases specialists and their special interests at the bottom of this page.
What to bring:
- Please bring a referral from your General Practitioner and your Medicare Card. If you do not have a GP referral, please let reception know at the time of booking so we can arrange a referral appointment for you.
- Your travel itinerary
- If you are not a patient of our GP practice: a current and accurate health summary
- Records of past vaccinations (such as a yellow book)
What to expect?
A pre-travel appointment generally involves a discussion of your general health and travel plans, vaccine-preventable diseases, preventing foodborne illness and managing traveller’s diarrhoea, preventing mosquito and insect-borne diseases including malaria, in addition to targeted travel advice (including non-infectious hazards). Our clinic has many travel-related vaccines available on site, supported by our clinic nurse who is able to administer vaccines after your consultation.
You should allow approximately 1 hour for your appointment. This includes a consultation, vaccine administration time and an observation period of 15-30 minutes post vaccination (depending on vaccines administered).
Consultations are privately billed and payment for vaccines is required on the day of consultation.
