Your Health and Safety, Wherever You Go
Planning an overseas trip? A pre-travel health consultation is essential to ensure you stay safe and well while you’re away. Our Torquay clinic provides a comprehensive travel medicine service, offering up-to-date advice and the necessary vaccinations for your specific destination. Different countries have different health risks, and our GPs at Surfcoast Medical Centre can help you prepare for them.
We recommend booking a travel consultation at least 6-8 weeks before your departure date.
Our Travel Medicine consultation covers:
- A full assessment of your travel itinerary and personal health history
- Country-specific advice on required and recommended vaccinations (e.g., Typhoid, Hepatitis A/B, Rabies etc.)
- Administration of all necessary travel vaccines
- Advice and prescriptions for malaria prevention
- General travel health advice regarding food and water safety, insect bite prevention, and managing jet lag
- Preparation of a travel medical kit
To prepare for your next adventure, please book a dedicated travel consultation with your GP.
