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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will my employer decide whether it is enough?
Your employer can assess evidence under workplace policy. InstantMed provides clinically assessed documentation, not a promise about every workplace rule.
Can I use it for carer leave?
Yes, through the carer's leave option when the request fits the routine certificate pathway.
Can I request multiple days?
You can request one, two, or three days. Concerning or uncertain requests go to a doctor before issue.
Start with the right service
Clear price and a secure request. Standard medical-certificate requests are assessed under a Medical Director-approved clinical protocol. Concerning or uncertain certificate requests, and every prescribing request, require review by an AHPRA-registered doctor before issue.
