Medical and Vaccinations

Medical

Visitors can bring reasonable quantities of prescribed medications. All should be clearly labeled and identifiable. For large quantities, bring a doctor's certificate to produce to Customs if necessary. Chemists can fill most prescriptions but some may need to be re-issued by an Australian-registered doctor. In the event of illness, your hotel can call a doctor or refer you to one, or you can call your country's High Commission, Embassy or Consulate General for a list of doctors. U.S. and Canadian visitors are not covered by Australia's national health insurance scheme. It is recommended that you travel with adequate travel insurance.

Vaccinations

Vaccinations are not required unless you have come from or visited a yellow fever infected country or zone within 6 days prior to arrival. For related vaccination information (in the U.S.) call the Center for Disease Control - PH: (404) 6393311.
