Flu vaccinations

We offer flu vaccinations to all new and existing patients. The vaccine is free for eligible patients listed in the National Immunisation Program and at a competitive price for others.

Travel health

Our University Health Services offer comprehensive travel health consultations for the Monash community. Regardless of where you’re travelling to, we want to ensure you’re healthy and you enjoy your trip away. You should book an appointment as soon as you can, but at least six weeks before you leave:

1. Book an appointment online (make sure you book a 30-minute travel health consultation) or call one of our clinics and request a long appointment. See medical appointments.
2. Print and complete our University Health Services Travel Questionnaire, and bring it with you to your appointment.
