Frequently Asked Questions

Are online medical certificates valid in Australia?

Yes. Medical certificates issued by AHPRA-registered doctors via telehealth are legally valid and hold the same weight as certificates issued in person. They are accepted by employers, universities, and institutions across Australia.

Will my employer accept an online medical certificate?

Yes. Under the Fair Work Act, employers must accept valid medical certificates regardless of whether the consultation was in-person or via telehealth. All Medidoc certificates include the issuing doctor's name and AHPRA registration number for verification.

Can I get a backdated medical certificate?

Doctors can issue certificates covering recent days of illness based on your reported symptoms and clinical judgement. Speak to the doctor during your consultation about the dates you need covered.

How quickly will I receive my certificate?

Your certificate is typically emailed to you within minutes of your consultation ending. It arrives as a signed PDF that you can forward directly to your employer or institution.

Can I get a certificate for more than one day?

Yes. Our doctors can issue multi-day certificates based on your condition. The duration of leave will be determined by the doctor during your consultation based on clinical assessment.

Do I need to be visibly sick to get a certificate?

Our doctors assess your condition through a clinical consultation - not just visible symptoms. Many valid conditions (migraines, back pain, gastro, mental health) may not be visible but are absolutely valid reasons for medical leave.
