At Fifth Avenue Family Practice, our aim is to make your travel preparation straightforward, cost-effective and tailored to your needs.
Most travel-related health issues can be prevented through early planning, appropriate vaccinations and sensible precautions. Our Travel Clinic in Tauranga provides personalised advice to help you and your whānau travel safely and confidently.
International travel can be stressful. A pre-travel health consultation gives you time to discuss your itinerary, medical history and destination-specific risks. Advice may include vaccinations, malaria prophylaxis (if required), and provision of “just in case” medications.
Dr Nick Hanna and Dr Irina Bardsley are GPs with specialist qualifications in Travel Medicine.
We recommend booking your travel health appointment at least 4–6 weeks before departure, as some vaccines require more than one dose.
Our Travel Clinic is open to both registered and casual patients. Casual rates apply.
Follow the steps below:
Step 1: Complete a Travel Health Questionnaire for each person
At least 4-6 weeks prior to departure, download the Travel Health Questionnaire. Type directly into the document on screen and save a separate file for each person. Have your itinerary nearby to do this.
Email us all completed forms at least 1 – 2 weeks before you need your health appointment. Alternatively you can send the completed health questionnaire forms to reception@fifthavenue.co.nz. We will review your information ahead of your visit.
Step 2: Book your Travel Health appointment
Once you have sent your completed document via our email form we will contact you to make a travel appointment with one of our travel doctors. Travel appointments are generally 30 – 45minutes depending on your destination. We will call you to provide an appointment appropriate to your travel questionnaire.
Travel consultation fees apply – From $175 per person for a standard appointment and complex appointments start from $265.00. Additional costs will apply for visitors, vaccines and nurse time required.

Our bank account details are: 12 3146 0058719 00. Please use your NHI number as your reference.
We advise booking 4-6 weeks in advance because some vaccines require more than one dose, a week or two apart. This allows time for the vaccines to start working before you leave.
Our medical team works together to provide you with the very best travel advice. This includes the latest preventative measures for insect-borne diseases including Malaria, Dengue Fever, Japanese Encephalitis and much more. We can also provide you with recommendations for avoiding accidents and injury, first aid, jet lag, diarrhoea, and motion sickness.
