WHO-approved Yellow Fever vaccination clinic.
We can administer the Yellow Fever vaccine and issue the official International Certificate of Vaccination (the "Yellow Card") required for entry to countries in Africa and South America. This approval is held by only a small number of practices across North Queensland.
Travel Medications & Health Supplies
In addition to vaccines, our doctors can prescribe and dispense the medications most commonly needed by international travellers:
Malaria prevention — prescription antimalarials appropriate to your destination and health history
Traveller's diarrhoea — antibiotics and oral rehydration supplies
Motion sickness — preventive medications for sea, air, and land travel
Altitude sickness — preventive treatment for trekking destinations such as Nepal or Kilimanjaro
Travel first-aid kits — customised for your destination and itinerary
Medical certificates — for airline fitness to fly, COVID requirements, and other documentation
What’s included in your travel consultation
We take a thorough, personalised approach to every travel consultation. Here's what you can expect:
Personalised itinerary review — your destinations, activities, accommodation style, and duration all shape your recommendations
Medical history review — prior vaccinations, chronic conditions, medications, and allergies are considered before any vaccine or prescription is given
Travel health advice — food and water safety, sun and insect protection, managing existing conditions while travelling, and what to do if you become unwell
Printed travel health book — a bound, destination-specific guide including disease profiles, health alerts, outbreak information, and medical facility contacts
Pocket medical guide — including your International Vaccination Certificate (Yellow Card if applicable)
On-site vaccinations — all initial vaccines administered at the same appointment by our nursing team
Prescription travel medications — malaria prevention, traveller's diarrhoea, altitude sickness, and motion sickness supplied on the day where needed
How long should I allow?
A single traveller consultation takes approximately 1–1.5 hours (30 minutes with the doctor, then time with our nurse). Families or groups travelling together should allow 1.5–2 hours. Follow-up vaccine appointments are typically 15 minutes or less.
