Frequently Asked Questions
A doctor’s certificate or sick certificate, is a document issued by a healthcare professional confirming someone’s health condition and usually used as proof for various reasons such as taking leave from work or school, or for travel purposes. When a health practitioner assesses someone’s health through a virtual medium and issues the certificate, it’s called an online medical certificate.
Obtaining a medical certificate or doctor’s certificate online is a straightforward process. All you have to do is complete a brief online questionnaire, which includes providing your payment details. Your responses will be carefully reviewed by a registered Australian online doctor or nurse practitioner, who is fully accredited by the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA). Upon approval, the certificate will be promptly emailed to you and also sent via SMS for your convenience.
After submitting your information online, a licensed Australian doctor or nurse practitioner will thoroughly review it. They will evaluate the severity of your medical condition and its clinical viability to decide whether to approve the doctor's certificate. It's important to note that not all requests are automatically approved. If necessary, you may be advised to visit a local GP in person for further evaluation and assistance.
Yes, medical certificates issued by an Australian government-registered doctor or nurse practitioner are valid. They should be accepted by your employer, school, insurance company, or travel partner. A medical certificate obtained through a properly conducted online assessment has the same legal validity as one obtained in a physical clinic.
