$52.00AUD / consultation
A special consideration form is not guaranteed.
Start my Flinders consultFlinders's rules don't mention telehealth. A certificate is judged on what it states and who issued it.
Applications go through Flinders Student System; extensions via FLO.
No later than three business days after the exam. See a doctor the day you are unwell, not after the deadline.
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.
The date you were seen and the period you were unfit. That you were unable to sit the exam or complete the assessment on the relevant date.
There is no Flinders practitioner form. You upload a medical certificate, so the certificate has to do all the work on its own. The certificate must cover the exam date itself. A certificate that starts the day after the exam does not support a deferred assessment.
Deadlines, portals and evidence rules at Flinders, from its published policy.
Start my Flinders consultLodge 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.
Flinders'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.
No later than three business days after the exam.
The certificate after a real-time doctor call.
Flinders 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 date you were seen and the period you were unfit. That you were unable to sit the exam or complete the assessment on the relevant date. The practitioner's name, AHPRA registration and practice details. A signature and the date of issue.
There is no Flinders practitioner form. You upload a medical certificate, so the certificate has to do all the work on its own. The certificate must cover the exam date itself. A certificate that starts the day after the exam does not support a deferred assessment. Extensions on coursework are handled in FLO with your topic coordinator, while deferred exams go through the Flinders Student System. Check which applies before you lodge. Flinders publishes the detail in its Assessment Policy and Procedures rather than on the application page. Read it if your circumstances are unusual.
Two outcomes, one application, the same evidence.
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.
Sorted within the day. A real-time consult with a registered doctor, then the certificate Flinders asks you to upload.
