Travel Clinic

Going out of the country can be exciting whether you are out for a holiday vacation or a business meeting. Nothing beats the thrill of seeing something new and exploring different cultures. However, going to another place from what you’re comfortable with can expose you to different environments and unusual factors that can significantly affect your health. Besides being far from home where you’re familiar, immediate healthcare is also far from you. 

At Cairns West Medical Centre, we not only accommodate locals who need our services. We are also a travel clinic that provides comprehensive travel medical care for foreign travellers.

Our care team can help you to prepare for overseas travel and remain in good health while you’re travelling by providing on-site travel vaccinations, malaria prophylaxis, and more. Our travel clinic is also more than just giving the required vaccinations for you. We also offer patient consultations on reducing risks from different factors that can mess up your health, such as food, water, parasitic diseases, and insect-transmitted diseases.

Common travel vaccinations advised are:

• Hepatitis A
• Typhoid
• Polio

Less common travel vaccinations advised are

• Yellow Fever
• Rabies
• Cholera
