Unlike obvious signs such as pain or discomfort, some sexual health problems develop gradually and can go unnoticed for months or even years.

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.
