A special consideration form is not guaranteed.
Start my Adelaide consultAdelaide's rules don't mention telehealth. A certificate is judged on what it states and who issued it.
Applications go through Student Portal and MyLearning.
Deferred exam within 24 hours of the exam or assignment date; extensions before the original due date. See a doctor the day you are unwell, not after the deadline.
Adelaide University's assessment applications page and Variations to Assessment Policy set out the eligibility and documentation required, and do not address telehealth or the modality of the consultation either way.
The nature of the condition and the dates it affected you. Whether the impact is expected to last more than 14 days.
Short extensions of up to three days can be requested without documentation. Long extensions of three to 14 days need supporting documentation. The 14 day mark is the hinge. Past it, Adelaide treats the situation as a change of study arrangements rather than an assessment extension, and the Health Assessment Form applies.

No later than 24 hours after the exam or assignment date. That is a tight window, so see a doctor on the day rather than waiting until you feel better.
Adelaide University is the merged institution formed from the University of Adelaide and the University of South Australia. If you enrolled under either former name, the current assessment applications process is the one that applies.
It is the practitioner form Adelaide uses when a condition affects more than a single assessment. It asks for the nature of the condition, whether the impact runs past 14 days, the treatment plan, and whether a leave of absence, reduced load or release is supported.
Adelaide's process, in the order it happens.
A real-time special consideration consult. Tell the doctor the exam or due date; the certificate covers those dates.
Deferred exam within 24 hours of the exam or assignment date; extensions before the original due date.
Health Assessment Form for Changing Study Arrangements completed by the doctor, plus the medical certificate.
Adelaide may contact the practice to confirm the consultation. The link on each document answers that.
What the certificate must state, and what gets it refused.
The nature of the condition and the dates it affected you. Whether the impact is expected to last more than 14 days. What change of study arrangement is supported: leave of absence, reduced load or release from the programme. The treatment plan or expected recovery, where the practitioner can give one. The practitioner's name, registration and practice details, with your signed consent to release the information.
Short extensions of up to three days can be requested without documentation. Long extensions of three to 14 days need supporting documentation. The 14 day mark is the hinge. Past it, Adelaide treats the situation as a change of study arrangements rather than an assessment extension, and the Health Assessment Form applies. International students on a student visa should note that a release or reduced load has ESOS consequences, so the form asks the practitioner to support that recommendation specifically. Read the Variations to Assessment Policy before lodging. Adelaide states the eligibility and required documentation there, not on the application form.
Three outcomes, one application, the same evidence.
An extension gives you more time on general coursework, assignments or non-time-bound tests. Up to three days can be requested without documentation.
A deferred exam application covers time-bound assessments that cannot simply be extended in MyLearning. Apply no later than 24 hours after the exam or assignment date.
Where a condition runs longer than a single assessment, Adelaide uses the Health Assessment Form for Changing Study Arrangements to consider a leave of absence, a reduced study load or release from the programme. The practitioner is asked whether the impact exceeds 14 days and what treatment is planned.
Sorted within the day. A real-time consult with a registered doctor, then the certificate and the Health Assessment Form for Changing Study Arrangements Adelaide asks for.
