What you need to know
Workplace evidence
Fair Work says employers can ask for reasonable evidence when an employee takes sick or carer leave. A doctor issued certificate can support that evidence requirement.
Certificate details
- Your name and certified absence dates.
- Doctor and clinic details.
- A certificate reference that can be checked online.
Privacy
The certificate does not need to disclose your diagnosis to your employer. Clinical details stay inside the medical record.
