Travel medicine and vaccinations
If you’re travelling overseas for business or a much-needed holiday, it’s important to ensure you are in the best possible health before you go. Don’t risk disrupting your trip—being properly vaccinated and prepared helps you avoid illness and enjoy your time abroad.
Medical Hub @ RMIT stocks a broad range of travel vaccines onsite, including yellow fever .
To ensure you have enough time to complete any required vaccination courses and receive tailored advice, we recommend booking an appointment with one of our doctors for travel vaccinations in Melbourne at least 6 weeks before your departure. Some vaccines require multiple doses to build full immunity, so it’s best not to leave your visit to the last minute.
Travel medicine services
At Medical Hub @ RMIT, our doctors conducting travel vaccinations can help you understand the specific health risks associated with your travel destinations. Using details such as the countries you are visiting, your itinerary, and your past immunisation history, they will develop an individualised immunisation and travel health plan.
We can also check your immunity to certain diseases to avoid unnecessary repeat vaccinations.

The vaccines you need depend on several factors and are best determined in consultation with a qualified health professional. These factors include:
