The doctor will advise what vaccinations are required during your consultation. The vaccines required will depend on what activities you will be doing on your trip, how long you are going for, any previous vaccination history, and your medical history. You can also have a look on our website for an indication of what may be required for your destination.

Doctor consultation prices vary – our travel doctors charge a range of $95 - $165, which also varies between offices, and is subject to increase annually. There is also an additional nurse fee for any vaccinations/medications/kits etc. required.

Most follow-up doctor consultations are charged at the Medicare rebateable rate for private travellers.

The consultation price is per person, regardless of whether you go into the consultation together. This is because the medical consultation is individualised to each traveller and vaccines are prescribed per person, depending on individual medical history and risk.

General travel vaccinations vary in price from $35.00 - $160.00* each. Some very specific vaccines which are occasionally used for travellers going to high risk locations can cost a lot more. Your doctor will discuss these costs with you before you decide whether to proceed with the recommended vaccination.

Malaria medication varies in price from approximately $8.00 - $53.00 per week* depending on the medication type and duration of your trip. The doctor will discuss and advise you on the best option for your needs.

For Australian residents, part of the doctor consultation may be claimable through Medicare.

This depends on a number of factors as determined by Medicare including the length of your appointment and the doctor you see.

If you have the appropriate level of cover you may be able to claim a rebate through your private health insurance for part of the cost of your vaccines. Claiming from private health insurance is completed by yourself after full payment is made.
