Medical Certificate Online from $14.90

Yes. Online medical certificates meet the same criteria as traditional GP medical certificates. They hold legal validity in Australia under the Fair Work Act 2009 when issued by a healthcare provider registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA).

Yes when issued by a healthcare provider registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA). The Fair Work Act 2009 recognises them as valid legal documents that are acceptable for sick or carer’s leave.

The certificates are approved by the AHPRA-registered practitioners or doctors in Australia post their evaluation. 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.

With Hola Health, you can get it within 15 minutes upon approval. It is fast and easy. It will be sent to the email address you provided during booking. Please double-check your email for any typos to ensure smooth delivery.

Unfortunately, we do not provide a backdated medical certificate. In Australia, doctors are generally discouraged issuing a backdated Dr certificate. It is considered unethical and may have legal implications. Doctor’s certificates are intended to provide an accurate reflection of a patient’s health status at the time of consultation. Therefore, doctors are expected to issue certificates with the date of assessment to maintain integrity and accuracy.

No, you do not need a Medicare card for a doctor’s certificate online.

Most workplaces and employers and universities in Australia accept it when issued by registered medical practitioners and meet legal requirements. Some companies and institutions might have different policies; it is always good to check these policies.

All Hola medical certificates are valid and issued by AHPRA-registered practitioners. We are also happy to validate certificates for employers (that is, confirm for your employer that the certificate is real). To do this, your employer just needs to contact support@hola.health, and we can chat to them for you.

The single-day medical certificate will only cover the date on which the booking is made. Please note that we will cover the full 24 hours of the date the booking was made, not 24 hrs from when the booking was made.

It depends on the telehealth process of the provider and the specific circumstances. For a same-day and single-day medical certificate online, a detailed online questionnaire is the process as part of a text-based consultation. For multi-day or more complex cases, a telehealth consultation is required.   

Usually, no. In Australia, a medical certificate must be issued directly to the patient they relate to after a consultation, either in person or via telehealth. This is to confirm that the doctor can properly assess their health condition and protect their privacy. However, if you’re looking after someone unwell, you can request a carer’s certificate for yourself. This covers time off to care for a sick child, partner, or any other family member. It is recommended to have your loved one with you during the online GP consultation.
