There’s something exciting about planning a trip—whether it’s an overseas holiday, a work assignment, or an adventurous trek into the unknown. But while you’re sorting out flights, accommodation, and itineraries, there’s one more box you need to tick: your health. And that’s where a visit to the travel clinic comes in.
At Florence Street Family Practice in Hornsby, we provide tailored travel health services for individuals, families, and groups heading off from Perth and beyond. From travel vaccinations to region-specific medical advice, our experienced team ensures you’re well-prepared for a safe and healthy journey.
Why a Travel Clinic Visit Matters
Travelling exposes you to new environments, climates, and potential health risks that your body might not be ready for. Diseases like yellow fever, typhoid, or hepatitis are rare in Australia but can be common in other countries—and while the idea of getting sick overseas might seem like something that happens to “other people,” the reality is different.
By visiting a travel clinic before you go, you give yourself the best possible defence against preventable illness.
At Florence Street Family Practice, our travel doctors offer:
- Expert medical advice based on your destination
- Vaccinations to protect against region-specific diseases
- Medication plans for altitude, food safety, and insect-borne illnesses
- Pre-travel consultations and post-travel health checks
We aim to make your travel preparations simple and stress-free—most travellers only need one visit to be fully prepared.
What Travel Services Do We Offer?
Our comprehensive approach to travel healthcare means you’ll leave with not only peace of mind, but also the right tools to manage your health on the go.
Pre-Travel Consultations
We’ll start with a detailed chat about your trip: where you’re going, what you’re doing, how long you’ll be away, and your current health status. Whether you’re visiting high-altitude areas or staying in rural regions, this information helps us tailor a health plan that’s as unique as your itinerary.
Travel Vaccinations
Different destinations carry different risks. We offer a full range of vaccinations including:
- Yellow Fever
- Hepatitis A & B
- Typhoid
- Rabies
- Tetanus
- Japanese Encephalitis
- Cholera
- COVID-19
We also provide routine immunisations if you’re due for an update, so you’re protected from all angles.
Region-Specific Health Advice
From mosquito protection to food and water safety, our travel doctors will walk you through the risks you may encounter and how to stay safe. You’ll also get advice on what to pack in your travel medical kit, and how to manage allergies or pre-existing conditions while away.
Pre- and Post-Travel Health Checks
Your wellbeing doesn’t end when you return home. If you’re feeling unwell after your trip—or just want peace of mind—we offer post-travel health checks to catch any infections or issues early.
Medications Onsite
Need malaria tablets, altitude sickness medication, or anti-allergy medicine? We’ve got you covered. Essential travel health products are available right here at the clinic, so you don’t need to make extra stops.
Who Should Visit a Travel Clinic?
Anyone travelling overseas should consider visiting a travel clinic—but it’s especially important for:
- Travellers to regions with health alerts or disease outbreaks
- People with chronic health conditions
- Pregnant women or people with weakened immune systems
- Those visiting friends and relatives in high-risk areas
- Adventure travellers visiting remote or high-altitude locations
- Families travelling with young children
Even if you’ve travelled before, different destinations bring different risks—and travel advice changes all the time. That’s why having access to up-to-date, expert information is essential.
