About Glide Online Travel Clinic

Glide Online Travel Clinic is for people who want to reduce their risk of preventable illness while travelling overseas. This includes accessing the right vaccinations, prescriptions for anti-malarial tablets and other stand-by medications. Travel doctors also provide advice on how to avoid common problems and stay healthy while travelling.

Prescriptions for immunisations and other medication are sent to your inbox. Our doctors will recommend pharmacies where you can conveniently have your immunisations performed, scripts filled and pick up all your other pre-travel essentials.

Travel doctors provide advice to medically stable travellers prior to travel. Consultations for any new illnesses or medical issues should be performed by your general practitioner prior to seeing a travel doctor. For any medical issues which arise while you are overseas you should see a doctor in the area you are travelling.

Glide Online Travel Clinic utilises pharmacist-delivered immunisations. Not all pharmacy sites are able to vaccinate young children and pharmacies are not able to administer yellow fever immunisations. Take our eligibility quiz to find out if this will affect you.

In cases where some vaccines cannot be given at your pharmacy, you can still access a consult through Glide Online Travel Clinic. Your travel doctor will advise on the most appropriate way to access your vaccinations.

Anyone 18 years or older with an upcoming overseas trip and stable health can book a travel medical consult with Glide Online Travel Clinic.

Those under 18 years can be booked in by their parent or guardian, provided both can attend the consult together.

Yes. You can book for your dependents.

The service works best for children who are five and over. Younger children can also have a consult, but may need to be referred to another medical service for their vaccinations.

Regulations in some states prevent pharmacists from administering vaccinations to young children. It is still possible to obtain a travel medicine consultation with Glide Online Travel Clinic, but if your child requires vaccinations, they may need to be referred to another medical service.

Yes. Please contact us to arrange an appointment incorporating a telephone interpreter.

If you are having difficulty accessing our services due to a disability, please contact us so we can find a solution that works for you.

For children under 12 months old, a portion of the consultation fee is rebated by Medicare. See the Medicare website for details. For those over 12 months, this depends on the doctor. 

For all patients, the advertised pricing is the maximum out-of-pocket cost for your consultation. The out-of-pocket cost means the final cost after any applicable Medicare rebate has been processed.

There is no charge for Medicare card holders for vaccinations which are included on the National Immunisation Program schedule, provided you attend a pharmacy which participates in the NIPVIP program. These vaccinations include polio; measles, mumps, rubella; diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus; varicella; hepatitis B; pneumococcus; meningococcus ACWY; human papilloma virus; and others.

For other immunisations, like typhoid and hepatitis A vaccines, charges will depend on the pharmacy provider.
