ABOUT US
Our Purpose, our promise
The purpose of Travel Health Plus is to deliver a world-class vaccination service to the people of Perth through a group of dedicated and professional staff members. With a team of avid travellers, parents, and carers at the helm of Travel Health Plus, we know the importance of being protected and ensuring that you stay protected for life. We focus on each patient as an individual and give them the time to talk through their vaccination plan to ensure comfort and confidence. We pride ourselves on staying informed and up to date on all advances in the industry, while always leading with an ethical approach.
In order to extend these values beyond our shores, we actively work with UNICEF through our Vax4Vax program, providing funding to the established vaccination delivery program; giving vaccinations, protection, and life to those in underdeveloped countries.
