Travelling Soon?

Ideally, you should seek travel advice at least 6-8 weeks before your intended date of travel. This will ensure there is sufficient time for all the required travel vaccinations to be administered.

For last-minute travellers, an accelerated vaccination schedule may be possible.

When travelling, it’s important to plan ahead to ensure you can take your medications as prescribed and without interruption.

• Make sure you pack enough medication for the duration of your trip, plus extra in case of delays.
• Carry a doctor’s letter that lists your current medicines and medical devices.
• Consider any special storage requirement such as refrigeration.
• Check if there are any restrictions on medications when travelling overseas.
• Keep the medication you’ll need during the flight (plus a little extra) in your carry-on luggage and pack the remaining supply in your checked baggage.
