We also provide free copies of Travelling Well — Australia’s essential travel health handbook — for every traveller seen at Health HQ.

 

Why Choose Health HQ as Your Travel Clinic on the Gold Coast

When it comes to travel vaccinations in Southport, experience matters. Health HQ’s doctors — including Dr Norman Hohl and Dr Simon Thatcher — were among the first in Queensland to receive the International Society of Travel Medicine’s Certificate in Travel Health. Their dedication to research and continuing education ensures you receive advice that’s both current and medically sound.

As an accredited Yellow Fever Vaccination Centre, we maintain vaccine stock year-round. You won’t need to wait weeks for an appointment — most vaccines and travel medications can be administered during your consultation.

Our advice covers much more than vaccinations. You’ll also receive practical guidance on:

  • Safe food and water habits

  • Avoiding insect-borne diseases like malaria and dengue

  • Preventing jet lag, motion sickness, and DVTs

  • Travelling safely in hot, cold, or high-altitude environments

  • Managing medications overseas and recognising symptoms that need medical review

The goal: to keep you healthy, informed, and ready to enjoy your journey — not waste it recovering from preventable illness.
