Frequently asked questions

It depends on your employer’s policy and the situation. The Fair Work Act 2009 allows employers to request evidence, like a medical certificate, to prove the legitimacy of sick leave. While it’s not always mandatory for a single day, employers may require a sick certificate online for short absences, especially during flu outbreaks or patterns of frequent single-day leaves. With online medical certificates available in NSW, WA, VIC, QLD and across Australia, you can conveniently meet your employer’s requirements anytime. Always check your workplace leave policy for specific guidelines.

Unfortunately, we cannot issue backdated sick leave or carer’s leave certificates due to legal restrictions. In Australia, obtaining a backdated medical certificate is not typically allowed, as it is considered unethical and may carry legal risks. A doctor’s note is meant to accurately represent a patient’s condition during the consultation. Online GPs or health practitioners, like in-person doctors, are expected to provide medical certificates based on the date of the assessment to uphold professional standards and ensure accuracy.
