Medical Certificate for School or University
Under the weather and need to explain an absence from school or uni? Speak with an AHPRA‑registered doctor by phone or video. Where suitable, your doctor can issue a valid certificate — often the same day.
From $39.99
$39.99 per consult • AHPRA‑registered doctors • Real consultation required
A consultation is always required. Requesting a certificate online does not issue one. Your doctor will only provide a certificate where it's clinically appropriate after a real‑time phone or video consult.

- You're unwell and can't attend classes or an exam
- You need documentation for a short absence from school or university
- You need a medical explanation for missing an assessment or deadline
