Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Work medical certificates
What about previous days' absence?
Standard certificates (12.90-32.00) cover consecutive days from today. For coverage of previous days (up to 2 days back), our 32.00 option is available with supporting evidence like positive test results.
What evidence can employers request?
Under Fair Work Act s.107, employers may request evidence that would satisfy a reasonable person - 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 'reasonable person' test. It's not reasonable for employers to contact your doctor for extra details without consent or reject certificates that cover earlier days if properly justified.
Are telehealth certificates valid?
Yes, when there's a real-time consultation (phone/video). Our doctors conduct proper clinical assessments. Form-only 'instant' certificates without consultation risk breaching professional standards.
What about workers' compensation?
For work-related injuries/illness, use your scheme's Certificate of Capacity (e.g., Comcare, SIRA NSW) instead of a standard medical certificate. These have specific requirements.
How quickly can I get my certificate?
Typically same day. Our AHPRA-registered doctors are available 7 days a week and respond within minutes to hours via real-time telehealth consultation.
