At Community Care Chemist, our trained pharmacists offer pre-travel consultations, where you can receive tailored advice for your next overseas trip including:

  • recommended travel vaccinations for your destination, which can be administered in-pharmacy 
  • customised first aid, medicines and travel essentials for your itinerary, including face masks, insect repellent, sunscreens, antidiarrheal medication or rehydration solutions 
  • advice on safe medication storage and handling 
  • a detailed take home travel checklist. 

A pre-travel consultation with a trained pharmacist is FREE at Community Care Chemist, excluding the cost of any recommended products or vaccinations.

When to get travel health & vaccination advice 

We recommend you book your pharmacist travel consultation at least 6 to 8 weeks before you leave Australia. 

If you do need vaccinations, your body needs time to develop full immunity and/or you may need multiple doses of a vaccine to achieve full immunity.  

Why book a pre-travel consult? 

There are no mandated travel health recommendations or set immunisation schedules that will suit all travellers.  

Broadly, the Victorian Department of Health, recommends prior to travel it is important to check whether routine vaccinations, including any boosters, are up to date.  

A FREE pre-travel consultation with a Community Care Chemist pharmacist is a great way to tick off any health or travel vaccination requirements specific to you and your overseas trip before you take off.
