“Telehealth medical certificates are suitable for common short-term illness. If your condition needs in-person examination, imaging, or urgent care, we will recommend appropriate alternatives instead of issuing a certificate.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Carer medical certificates
What about previous days' absence?
Your dates of illness can start up to 6 days before your consultation. The issue date is always the day of your consultation and cannot be backdated. The doctor sets the final dates based on their assessment. Please select your start date carefully.
What evidence can employers request?
Under the Fair Work Act, employers may request evidence that would satisfy a reasonable person that you were entitled to carer's leave. Medical certificates or statutory declarations are typical. They can request this for any absence, even one day.
Will my employer accept this certificate?
Yes. Our certificates meet the Fair Work Act's reasonable person test. Every certificate is issued by an AHPRA-registered doctor, and your employer can verify it by scanning its QR code or entering the certificate code at doccy.com.au/verify-certificate.
Are telehealth certificates valid?
Yes. Every certificate is issued by an AHPRA-registered doctor, who reviews your request before deciding whether a certificate is appropriate. Our doctors conduct real-time telehealth assessments.
Does the person I am caring for need to be part of the consultation?
No. The certificate is issued in your name and confirms the dates you need to care for an immediate family or household member who is unwell. The person you are caring for can be any age and does not need to join the consultation.
How quickly can I get my certificate?
Our AHPRA-registered doctors are available 7 days a week. Our usual wait times are below 30 minutes. A certificate is only issued if the doctor decides it is clinically appropriate.
