“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 Student 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 my university request?
Each university or education provider sets its own rules for the evidence it needs for missed classes or assessments. A medical certificate from a registered doctor is the most common type of evidence. Please check your university's policy before you book.
Will my university accept this certificate?
Most universities and education providers accept certificates from an AHPRA-registered doctor, including telehealth certificates. Your university can verify your certificate 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.
Can this consultation complete my university-specific form?
No. A medical certificate consultation cannot complete university or other education provider forms. If you are applying for special consideration, please book a special consideration consultation instead.
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.
