Medical Certificate for Work
Unwell and need time off? Speak with an AHPRA‑registered Australian doctor by phone or video. Where clinically appropriate, your doctor can issue a valid certificate for your employer — usually 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.
When You Might Need This
- You're unwell with a cold, flu or other illness and can't attend work
- You need a short period of sick leave while you recover at home
- You need documentation for a workplace absence after a minor injury
- Getting to a GP clinic isn't practical but you need a proper medical assessment
