Whether you are travelling for business or pleasure we believe it is important to discuss your travel plans with one of our specialist Travel Health GPs so you can make sure you are best protected from illness and disease. Many illnesses picked up by travellers are preventable through immunisation and safe travel practices. Our GPs will be able to advise you on what vaccinations are recommended for the areas you are travelling to, how best to protect yourself from illness and what to do if you become unwell.
Specialised expedition services are also available – please email travel@springsmedical.com.au for more information.
We recommend a travel health consultation at least 6-8 weeks prior to departure; however travellers can still benefit from a consultation closer to travelling.
Please call us to book a dedicated 30 minute Travel Health Clinic consultation with your preferred doctor. Where possible, this will be followed by an appointment with our nurse for required vaccinations. Follow-up appointments may be required for some vaccines.
Joint members of the same travelling party may share the same 30 minute appointment with the doctor. Each member will be billed separately and will need a separate appointment with the nurse for vaccinations.
All consultations, vaccinations and products must be paid in full at the time of consultation.
Please retain your detailed account and receipt as Private Health Insurance may rebate your vaccine costs – please check with your Private Health Fund.
