  • Medication list

  • Allergies

Fee Information

Hills Travel Clinic is a privately billing clinic. If you have a Medicare card you will receive a rebate from Medicare that will cover part of the consultation cost.

Travel vaccinations are charged separately to the consultation fee (see below).

You will be sent a link to a pre-appointment questionnaire that you should complete at least 24 hours before your appointment.

Fee Schedule

Initial Consultation
$175.00

(Medicare rebate = $82.90)

Children under 16 travelling with parents will be charged the Medicare fee only

Your initial consultation will include a comprehensive analysis of your travel plans, past medical history, previous vaccinations and any allergies. You will be given a recommended vaccination plan, which can usually be commenced immediately. This means there is no need to travel to (usually multiple) pharmacies to source your vaccinations. You will also be provided with a written travel report containing healthy travel tips and other useful information regarding your destination(s).

All travellers require an appointment

Follow-Up Consultation
$109.30

(Medicare rebate = $42.85)

For most trips a follow-up appointment will not be required. However, for some more complicated journeys a subsequent doctor’s consultation will be recommended to ensure all bases are covered prior to your journey.

Subsequent Vaccinations

Charged at the Medicare Rate

Some travel vaccinations require multiple doses. If these are required your subsequent vaccination consult will be charged at the Medicare Rate only and you will not be charged a gap payment.

The above fees do not include the cost of travel vaccinations

Appointment FAQs

  • As each family member will require an individual travel and risk assessment, an appointment is needed for all travellers (including children). This is also good medical practice and meets Medicare requirements.

    Please ring to speak to reception if you travelling with family/children and we will advise you regarding costs and booking. Children under 16 travelling with adult family members will be charged the medicare rate.

  • Travel vaccinations are generally not covered by Medicare or the PBS. If you have private health insurance you may be able to claim back a portion of the cost of vaccinations from your health fund.

    Vaccination costs must be paid in full on the day of your vaccination - prices can fluctuate but depending on the vaccine can range between $18 and $140 per dose. A full price list is available from reception or your doctor.

    We understand that travel vaccines may seem expensive, but they should be viewed as an investment in your health. Most travel vaccinations (with some exceptions) will provide protection during future trips, and some will provide lifelong protection.

  • Ideally at least 6 weeks before your trip - however if you have a last-minute trip planned you should still come and see us to discuss because many vaccinations can be given at short notice.
