Torrens's evidence, from a doctor who actually assesses you.
Torrens lists medical certificates and letters from registered practitioners among the acceptable documents, and does not address telehealth or the modality of the consultation. It does state that supporting documentation will not be accepted from a relative or personal friend.

Torrens at a glance
Every certificate links to a verification page showing the consultation record.
What Torrens asks for
Torrens 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. Torrens treats them as one process with different outcomes.
Short extensions are requested in MyLearn under Assignments, Extension Submission. Torrens no longer requires supporting documentation for these, but it does require a detailed explanation. A dated certificate is still the clearest way to back that explanation up.
Extensions of 8 to 14 calendar days still require documentation and are submitted through the same Assignments section in MyLearn. A medical certificate or letter from a registered practitioner covering the period is the usual evidence.
Where the impact runs past 14 days, use the Assessment Special Consideration Form and send it with supporting documents to your Learning Facilitator. This is the route for a longer illness that an extension cannot reasonably cover.

Work out how many days you need. Torrens treats 1 to 7 days, 8 to 14 days and more than 14 days as three different routes.
See a doctor and get a certificate covering the dates the condition affected you, unless your request is a short extension you can explain in full.
For 1 to 14 days, open MyLearn, go to Assignments and use Extension Submission.
For more than 14 days, complete the Application for Assessment Special Consideration and send it with your documents to your Learning Facilitator.
Lodge no less than three calendar days before the assessment is due, unless you can demonstrate an unavoidable delay.
What your certificate carries
Every Doccy certificate links to a verification page. This is what Torrens 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.
Torrens questions
Answers reflect Torrens's published policy on 16 Sept 2026. Torrens decides what it accepts.
Use the Extension Submission option under Assignments in MyLearn. Extensions of 1 to 7 calendar days need a detailed explanation but no documentation. Extensions of 8 to 14 calendar days still require supporting documentation.
Torrens' guidance does not address telehealth or modality. It accepts medical certificates and letters from registered practitioners, and refuses documentation from a relative or personal friend. Ask your Learning Facilitator if you need the position confirmed.
Apply no less than three calendar days before the assessment is due, unless you can demonstrate an unavoidable delay. Leaving it to the due date makes the request harder to support.
It is the route for impacts running past 14 days, where an extension is not enough. Complete the Application for Assessment Special Consideration and send it with supporting documents to your Learning Facilitator.
Not strictly. Extensions of 1 to 7 calendar days no longer require supporting documentation, but they do require a detailed explanation. A dated certificate is the simplest way to evidence that explanation if you are asked.
