Exploring new destinations is exciting, but staying healthy while travelling is just as important as planning your itinerary. With the right preparation and smart habits on the road, you can reduce the risk of illness and enjoy your trip to the fullest. Here are practical GP tips designed for Australians heading overseas.
In 2025, COVID-19 remains a significant health concern in Australia, particularly for older adults and people with weakened immune systems. The Omicron subvariant NB.1.8.1 has caused a resurgence in case numbers across the country, with health authorities urging Australians to stay protected through timely booster doses.
Getting the influenza (flu) vaccine each year is one of the most effective ways to protect yourself and others from seasonal influenza and its complications. While the vaccine is safe and well-tolerated by most people, some may experience mild, short-lived symptoms afterward—often described as “flu-like.” These side effects can raise questions or cause concern, particularly for those receiving the vaccine for the first time.
Unlike obvious signs such as pain or discomfort, some sexual health problems develop gradually and can go unnoticed for months or even years. Ignoring these symptoms can lead to more serious health concerns, including infertility, chronic conditions, and mental health issues. In this article, we explore the most commonly ignored sexual health symptoms, their possible causes, and when to seek medical attention.
Children are more vulnerable to infections, and many diseases that are rare in Australia remain common in other parts of the world. Travel vaccinations protect against serious illnesses such as hepatitis, typhoid, and yellow fever, reducing the risk of infection during your trip. Vaccines also help prevent the spread of diseases when returning home, safeguarding both your child and the wider community.
In Australia, childhood immunisations are guided by the National Immunisation Program (NIP), ensuring children receive vaccines at key developmental stages. While vaccination is not legally mandatory, policies such as No Jab, No Play and No Jab, No Pay encourage high immunisation rates by linking vaccination status to childcare enrolment and government benefits.
