You want one a doctor actually read and assessed. You also want a doctors note your workplace can check if anyone questions it.

Every doctors note includes a QR code and reference number so your employer can confirm it is genuine.
Get a doctors note covering the days the GP assesses you need without leaving home.

Yes. Online doctors notes are accepted when issued by an AHPRA-registered doctor and meet reasonable evidence requirements under the Fair Work Act.

No. DoctorsNote does not issue backdated notes. Doctors notes cover the date of application and forward.

If the GP assesses that a doctors note is not clinically appropriate based on the information you provide, it is not issued and you will be notified. The fee covers the doctor’s clinical assessment of your application, which is carried out regardless of the outcome, and is not refundable. This is what makes a DoctorsNote credible — it is not auto-issued.
We’re upfront about technology. AI helps our GP work faster and write clearer, more useful advice — but a registered Australian doctor reviews, signs, and stands behind every certificate.
Every doctors note is reviewed and signed by a registered Australian GP — currently Dr Rupinder Singh Walia (FRACGP · AHPRA MED0001647256). AI may help summarise your information, but the doctor makes the final clinical decision and is responsible for every certificate.
We don’t use your personal or health information to train AI models, and our AI provider doesn’t train its models on data sent through its commercial API (limited data may be briefly retained for security). We never sell or rent your information.
To draft your advice note, we send the AI de-identified details such as your symptoms and timing. Your certificate — and its QR verification — show your name, dates and doctor, but never your diagnosis.
We clearly identify each Australian and overseas provider that helps deliver this service — including our AI partner, payment and email providers — in our Privacy Policy.
Every certificate is signed by a named GP and independently verifiable at doctorsnote.com.au/verify. Read our full Privacy Policy →
