Travel Vaccinations & Health Advice, Sydney's North Shore

Why see a travel doctor before you go
Travel health advice is destination-specific and time-sensitive. Some vaccines take weeks to become effective, some need a course of doses, and requirements shift with outbreaks and border rules. Booking as soon as you have an itinerary leaves room to complete whatever your trip needs.
What a consultation covers
- A risk assessment based on your itinerary, health history and how you will be travelling
- Yellow fever vaccination and the International Certificate of Vaccination
- The common travel vaccines: hepatitis A and B, typhoid, rabies and Japanese encephalitis
- Malaria prevention advice and prescriptions where your destination calls for them
- Practical guidance on food and water safety, insect bite avoidance and altitude
- Post-travel review if you return unwell
Part of the Travel Medicine Alliance
Chatswood Travel Doctor is a member of the Travel Medicine Alliance, a national network of independent travel medicine clinics. Members receive regular updates on outbreaks, vaccine availability and changing entry requirements, so the advice you get reflects current conditions rather than a general guide.

Frequently asked questions
Is Chatswood Travel Doctor an approved yellow fever vaccination centre?
Yes. Chatswood Travel Doctor is a Travel Medicine Alliance member clinic, and every TMA member clinic is an approved Yellow Fever Vaccination Centre, so you can have your yellow fever vaccine and receive your certificate here.
How do I book a travel vaccination appointment?
Call the clinic on (02) 9411 5858 and let the team know you are booking a travel consultation.
How far ahead of my trip should I book?
Ideally 4 to 6 weeks before you leave, so there is time for vaccines that need more than one dose. If you are leaving sooner, an appointment is still worthwhile, as many vaccines can be given close to departure.
