Travel Consultation

Travel Consultation Information

Are you planning a trip overseas?

If you are planning a trip overseas, you can now book a pre-travel consultation with your trusted, local pharmacist for advice on all your travel health needs.

During your 20-minute consultation, you and your trusted pharmacist immuniser will discuss:

  • your travel plans
  • review your vaccination history
  • provide travel hygiene advice, and
  • ensure that you are up to date with all the necessary vaccinations

Vaccinations that can be administered during this consultation by your pharmacist immuniser include:

  • Influenza
  • COVID-19
  • Whooping Cough
  • Poliomyelitis
  • Hepatitis A
  • Hepatitis B
  • Typhoid
  • Human papillomavirus (HPV)
  • Pneumococcal
  • Meningococcal ACWY
  • Measles-Mumps-Rubella (MMR)
  • Japanese Encephalitis
  • Herpes Zoster (Shingles)
  • Mpox
  • Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV)

Some medicines and vaccines (e.g. Malaria tablets) cannot be prescribed in a pharmacy, so where appropriate, you may be referred to a GP, travel medicine practitioner or other healthcare provider for further consultation.

The Travel Consultation at Chemist Warehouse starts from $20.00. Any medicines, products or vaccines recommended during the consultation will come at an additional cost and will be charged at the registers on the day of purchase/administration.

Please note – this service is currently available at selected Victorian pharmacies only.
