Medical Certificate Online from $[mc_price_school].

A medical certificate, also known as a doctor’s certificate or sick certificate, is a document provided by a healthcare professional like a doctor or nurse. It confirms someone’s health condition and can be used as proof for various reasons such as taking leave from work or school, or for carer’s leave. Essentially, it’s an official record of someone’s health status at a particular time.

After you submit your details online, a licensed Australian doctor or nurse practitioner will review them. They will assess the severity and medical suitability of your condition. Based on this evaluation, the medical practitioner will decide whether to issue a medical certificate. It’s important to understand that not all requests are approved. If needed, you may be advised to see a local GP in person for further assessment.

Once your request has been assessed and approved by one of our practitioners, your medical certificate will be sent to the email address you provided during booking. Please double-check your email for any typos to ensure smooth delivery.

In an online doctor’s certificate, ‘multi-day’ means the certificate covers more than one day of absence. It’s used when you need time off for several days due to illness or injury. To get a multi-day certificate, you’ll need to have a telehealth consultation with a doctor, usually via video call, to discuss your condition in more detail.

Medical certificates, whether obtained online or through in-person consultations, are legitimate legal documents. Certificates issued by telehealth doctors are widely accepted across Australia and are treated equally to certificates issued through in-person consultations. However, it’s possible that some employers, universities, and schools may have specific rules in their sick/leave policy guidelines that require an in-person appointment to have occurred. It’s advisable to check with the concerned institution for their leave policy guidelines. Hola Health medical certificates come from Australian registered doctors or nurse practitioners.
