A practical price guide so you know what to budget before your appointment.
Most travel vaccinations are not covered by Medicare and must be paid for out of pocket. Costs vary between clinics and can change, so always confirm pricing when you book. The table below gives approximate ranges based on published Australian travel clinic prices.

Most travel clinics charge a consultation fee of $30-$60 on top of vaccine costs. This covers the doctor's assessment of your itinerary and personalised advice. Some clinics waive the fee if you receive vaccines on the same visit.
Low-risk destination (Japan, Singapore, Europe): $60–$150. Usually just Hep A/B updates and routine boosters.
Medium-risk destination (Thailand, Bali, Mexico): $110–$300. Typically Hep A, Hep B, Typhoid, plus Rabies if relevant.
High-risk destination (India, Kenya, PNG): $300–$600+. Multiple vaccines including Yellow Fever, JE, Rabies, plus malaria prophylaxis.
Check your immunisation history on the Australian Immunisation Register — you may already have valid vaccinations. Some health insurance extras policies partially cover vaccines. Combination vaccines (like Twinrix for Hep A+B) can reduce the number of doses needed. Ask your GP if they can administer some vaccines — GP consultation may be bulk-billed even if the vaccine isn't.
