Eddy
Bajrovic – MBBS – Medical Director
Certificate in Travel Health ®
Eddy Bajrovic brings with him many years of experience in general
practice, travel medicine and corporate/occupational medicine coupled
with a personal interest in education. He has been involved in the set up
and delivery of education programs for general practitioners, nurses and
paramedics and so knows only too well about the importance of educating
travelers. “It is not just about the vaccines or the chemo prophylactic
malaria drugs, it is about educating the traveller, providing information
on the risks and how to minimize these risks that is important in the
travel medicine consultation”.
Additionally, “each individual traveler is different and the advice given
must be tailored to the individual’s own special circumstances, their
medical history and their proposed itinery”.
Eddy comes to Travelvax through the acquisition of Gemini Medical
Services, a company which he co-founded, and served on the board of
directors, growing the business to become a major provider of general
practice, occupational and travel medicine services.
Tonia Buzzolini - RN MPH&TM CTH™
(National Operations Manager)
Tonia is responsible for the day-to-day Operations at
Travelvax Australia. Not only the setting up of new clinics, but also the
on-going training of our doctors and nurses, managing the business and
generally making sure things run smoothly! She became involved with
Travelvax through her volunteer nursing in Papua New Guinea, through the
Adventist Development Relief Agency (ADRA). “Travel has always fascinated
me,” said Tonia. “I grew up in Europe and have travelled extensively
around the globe. Promoting good health is an important part of a nurse’s
role and combining it with travel medicine makes for an interesting job.
I also love talking to travellers about avoiding the travel health risks
associated with their particular trip.”
Lisa Ryan - RN (Business Development
Co-ordinator VIC)
Lisa has been spreading the word about Travelvax since Melbourne's first
clinic was set-up in the CBD in 1997. "It's been fantastic and
really rewarding developing the awareness of Travelvax with the Travel
Industry and Corporate Travellers and to work with a company going from
strength to strength as we spread our service into the suburbs and around
Australia. A very big thank you to all travel consultants who support and
see the benefits of referring their clients to Travelvax".
Ruth Anderson RN CTH™(Business
Development Co-ordinator NSW)
Ruth has spent much of her working life travelling. Her
diverse background includes working as a registered nurse in holiday
villages in New Caledonia, Egypt and Mexico and 18 years as an
international flight attendant. Now, as NSW Business Development
Co-ordinator, she works to promote our company with travel agents and the
travelling public, as well as at times being part of the Travelvax team
in one of our clinics.
Fiona Moran – (Business Development
Co-ordinator VIC)
Fiona is in constant contact with travel agents in Melbourne, keeping them updated on our services. Her feedback is invaluable in ensuring
our services remain relevant to travelers, as she was a travel agent
herself for many years. And therefore came to see what an invaluable role
Travelvax has in protecting not only travellers from illness, but also
the community at large.
“The interaction with travel consultants is great because they really
respond to our service and I working with the professionals at our head
office and in our clinics is very rewarding, she says.”
