InstantQuick answers
Do hospitals accept online medical certificates?
Yes. Our certificates are issued by AHPRA-registered doctors and include standard workplace evidence details for public and private hospitals, aged care, and healthcare agencies.
Can I get a certificate between shifts?
Yes. Medical certificates are available 24/7. Complete the form during your break or after any shift.
What if I work night shift?
Medical certificate requests can be submitted 24/7, including after a night shift. If approved, the certificate is delivered digitally.
How much does a medical certificate cost?
A 1-day certificate is $24.95, 2-day is $29.95, and 3-day is $39.95. No hidden fees. Full refund if the doctor declines.
Can my employer see my diagnosis?
No. Your certificate states that you were assessed and found unfit for work. It does not include your diagnosis, symptoms, or clinical notes. Your privacy is protected under Australian health privacy law.
Can I get a carer's leave certificate?
Yes. If you need time off to care for an unwell family member or household member, we can issue a carer's leave certificate. This uses your personal leave balance under the Fair Work Act.
Are online medical certificates doctor-issued?
Yes. Telehealth certificates issued by AHPRA-registered doctors can be used as evidence as in-person GP certificates under the Fair Work Act. There is no distinction in Australian law.
Can I get a certificate for more than one day?
Yes. We issue certificates for 1, 2, or 3 days. If you need longer, the doctor may recommend an in-person assessment.
What if my hospital requires a certificate from day one?
Many healthcare employers require a certificate for any absence. You can submit a request 24/7 and receive documentation digitally if approved.
Do I need to provide my Medicare card?
No. Medicare is not required for medical certificates. You pay a flat fee and receive your certificate directly - no Medicare rebate applies, but no Medicare card is needed either.
What happens if the doctor declines my request?
Full refund if the doctor declines. They may also recommend you see a GP in person.
What does it cost?
Medical certificates from $24.95 (1 day) or $29.95 (2 days). Scripts from $29.95.
