Healthcare access in New South Wales
New South Wales residents can choose local GP care or telehealth according to the care they need. Clinic fees, bulk-billing eligibility and appointment availability vary by practice. Check with the clinic directly when comparing your options.
From Sydney and Newcastle to Dubbo, Wagga Wagga and the Riverina, an online request can avoid travel when an examination is not needed. InstantMed offers medical certificates, eligible repeat prescriptions and its named specialty assessments. Prescribing always requires an individual doctor decision.
Requests can be submitted and reviewed 24/7, including around shift work and family commitments. Review timing depends on the request, follow-up questions and queue volume.

NSW specifics
What to know about using telehealth for work, study, and everyday healthcare in New South Wales.
NSW public holidays & leave documentation
Under the Fair Work Act and NSW employment law, employers can request medical evidence for sick leave. Certificates from AHPRA-registered telehealth doctors can support routine work, study, and carer's-leave absence records. Centrelink and Services Australia reporting usually requires its own forms or functional-capacity details.
University & TAFE certificates
Major NSW institutions - UNSW, USYD, UTS, Macquarie, Newcastle, Wollongong, Western Sydney, Charles Sturt - all assess telehealth medical certificates under their own policies for academic support requests and absence documentation. If approved, the standard certificate confirms the absence dates and does not include a diagnosis or symptom details.
Regional NSW access gaps
Regional residents can submit eligible requests without travelling to a clinic. An in-person examination is still needed when the request cannot be assessed safely online.
NSW telehealth FAQs

Are NSW medical certificates subject to employer and institution policy?
Yes. NSW medical certificates from AHPRA-registered telehealth doctors meet Fair Work Act requirements and are reviewed under NSW employer, public-sector, health-service, and university policies.
Do you offer NSW-specific prescriptions or state-based scripts?
Prescribing and dispensing are subject to Australian and state or territory requirements. A doctor assesses whether a prescription is appropriate; ask your pharmacy about dispensing and availability.
