Flinders's evidence, from a doctor who actually assesses you.
Flinders' deferred assessment page states the deadline and directs students to the University's Assessment Policy and Procedures for the evidence rules. Neither the page nor its guidance addresses telehealth or the modality of the consultation.

From 12.90 AUD, one-off. Issued on the day you are seen. Certificates carry a verification code.

Every certificate links to a verification page showing the consultation record.
What Flinders asks for
Flinders has no practitioner section. The certificate carries the doctor's opinion, so what it states is what decides the outcome.
What the same evidence is for
Students search for these by name. Flinders treats them as one process with different outcomes.
A deferred assessment lets you sit the exam at a later date when illness stops you attending the scheduled one. You lodge it through the Flinders Student System no later than three business days after the exam, with a medical certificate covering the exam date.
Extensions on coursework are requested in FLO through your topic coordinator rather than the deferred assessment route. A dated certificate covering the days you could not work on the task supports the request.
Where illness runs long enough that finishing the topic is not realistic, Flinders can consider a withdrawal that does not count against your academic record. This needs evidence covering the longer period, not the exam day alone.
Read the source
The pages students land on when they search this topic, as Flinders publishes them. Read these before you apply: they are the rules your evidence is judged against.

What your certificate carries
Every Doccy certificate links to a verification page. This is what Flinders will see when it follows the QR code.
Consultation record
Multi-step telehealth process with voice pre-screening, doctor review, and ongoing patient communication.
The doctor reviews your details and the pre-screening notes, writes the impact statement in their own words, and can message you with questions before issuing.
Flinders questions
Answers reflect Flinders's published policy on 16 Sept 2026. Flinders decides what it accepts.
Lodge the application through the Flinders Student System and attach a medical certificate covering the exam date. Applications must be submitted no later than three business days after the exam.
Flinders' deferred assessment page does not address telehealth or modality. It refers students to the University's Assessment Policy and Procedures for the evidence rules. Contact Flinders Connect if you want the position confirmed before you apply.
Three business days after the exam. That is a short window, so get the certificate on the day you are unwell rather than after you recover.
Extensions on coursework go through FLO with your topic coordinator, not the deferred assessment application. Attach a dated certificate covering the days the illness stopped you working on the task.
No. Flinders does not publish a practitioner form for deferred assessment. You upload a medical certificate, so it needs to state the dates you were unfit and cover the exam or due date on its own.
