Every year, millions of Australians embark on journeys abroad, with Indonesia, New Zealand, USA, UK, and Japan among the most popular destinations. General Practitioners frequently field requests for detailed travel advice to aid in planning a safe and tailored plan for a trip. This plan hinges on various factors such as the travel destination, timing, individual medical history, purpose of the trip and more. This seminar aims to tackle these complexities, arming participants with the knowledge to effectively address travel-related enquiries.
