The most popular destination for Australian tourists. We almost made Bali another Australian state! Although you’ll run into many compatriots, it doesn’t minimise the health risks so check the tabs below for useful information and make a booking with your doctor at GSH to receive customised advice specific for your trip.

Infectious diseases present include

  • Typhoid, of highest risk to travellers compared to anywhere else in the world
  • Japanese Encephalitis, Vaccination is recommended if visiting rural areas, or staying >1month – however check for up to date information, a recent case report of transmission in a Bali resort was reported in an Australian traveller
  • Rabies, Transmitted by animal bites. Children, those with significant outdoor exposure %/or visiting rural areas are at greatest risk

Considerations

  • Food: Boil it, cook it, peel it or forget it
