Start my Curtin consultCurtin's rules don't mention telehealth. A certificate is judged on what it states and who issued it.
Applications go through Curtin Connect (students.connect.curtin.edu.au).
Before the assessment or exam. A late request may be accepted up to five working days after the exam date with a written explanation and supporting evidence. See a doctor the day you are unwell, not after the deadline.
Curtin's assessment extension guidance does not address modality. It asks for a signed medical certificate or a statement on official letterhead from a medical practitioner or other approved health professional registered by the relevant National Board, and says nothing about whether the consultation was in person or by telehealth.
That it is signed by a registered medical practitioner or other approved health professional. The practitioner's registration with the relevant National Board, on letterhead or a practice stamp.
Curtin accepts a signed medical certificate or a statement on relevant official letterhead. A screenshot of an appointment booking is not evidence. Statements from Curtin's own Psychological and Counselling Services, AccessAbility Services or a Student Wellbeing Advisor are accepted in place of a certificate for health-related circumstances.

Start my Curtin consultLog in to Curtin Connect and submit the assessment extension application, attaching a signed medical certificate. The same application covers a deferred exam. Apply before the due date or exam where you can.
Curtin's published guidance does not mention telehealth or modality either way. It asks for a signed certificate from a practitioner registered with the relevant National Board. If your situation is unusual, check with Curtin Connect before you rely on any certificate.
Apply before the assessment or exam. Curtin may accept a late request up to five working days after the exam date, but only with a reasonable written explanation and supporting evidence.
Use the assessment extension process. Curtin directs students to apply for a deferred exam by following the assessment extension steps rather than a separate form, with evidence covering the exam date.
A signed medical certificate, or a statement on official letterhead, from a registered medical practitioner or other approved health professional. Curtin also accepts official statements from its Psychological and Counselling Services, AccessAbility Services or a Student Wellbeing Advisor.
Curtin'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.
Before the assessment or exam. A late request may be accepted up to five working days after the exam date with a written explanation and supporting evidence.
The medical certificate after a real-time doctor call.
Curtin 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.
That it is signed by a registered medical practitioner or other approved health professional. The practitioner's registration with the relevant National Board, on letterhead or a practice stamp. The dates you were unwell and the date you were seen. That your ability to sit the assessment or meet the due date was affected.
Curtin accepts a signed medical certificate or a statement on relevant official letterhead. A screenshot of an appointment booking is not evidence. Statements from Curtin's own Psychological and Counselling Services, AccessAbility Services or a Student Wellbeing Advisor are accepted in place of a certificate for health-related circumstances. Apply before the exam where you can. The five working day window is for late requests and needs a written explanation of why you could not apply earlier.
Two outcomes, one application, the same evidence.
This is Curtin's route for extra time on an assignment, test or other assessment affected by illness. You lodge the request through Curtin Connect and attach the certificate.
A deferred exam is a sit of the same exam at a later date when illness stops you attending the scheduled one. Curtin runs it through the same assessment extension application rather than a separate form.
Sorted within the day. A real-time consult with a registered doctor, then the certificate Curtin asks you to attach.
