Travel Medicine & Vaccinations

Travelling overseas in unfamiliar environments can come with risks to your health.  

All doctors consulting at GCMC, and our nurses are able to provide pre- and post-travel advice. 
Your doctor or nurse will consider your travel itinerary, style of accommodation, activities while travelling, past medical history, allergies and a range of other factors, and recommend the appropriate and necessary vaccinations and/or medications required for your trip. An in-person consultation is necessary in order to determine your individual needs. 

Your doctor 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. 

Golden City Medical Clinic is an approved Yellow Fever Vaccination Centre.

When booking your appointment, please request a travel medicine consultation so sufficient time is allocated. Ensure you bring to your appointment:

• Your travel itinerary
• Vaccinations records
• Details of any medication you are regularly or intermittently taking

Please note that if you are travelling for long periods and through multiple countries your doctor will often recommend more than one consultation.

The fee for this service charged by your doctor may vary depending on the complexity and length of your consultation, in addition to vaccination costs.

Some travel vaccinations and medications are available for purchase through the clinic. Other Travel Vaccines including the Yellow Fever vaccines are available on scripts. Your doctor can provide official World Health Authority Vaccination Booklets.

It is always good to plan ahead as ideally, the initial appointment with your doctor should be booked 6 weeks prior to your travel date.
