When schools require medical evidence
Some schools ask for a medical certificate to excuse a child's absence.
If your child has been unwell and missed school, the school may request a medical certificate. Our certificates are issued by AHPRA-registered doctors and document the period of unfitness.
You complete a form describing your child's illness. A doctor reviews it — for children, we may need a brief call to confirm details. The certificate is then sent to your inbox. Some schools have their own documentation requirements — check yours.
