How to Access and Send Your Online Medical Certificate

Your certificate is delivered the moment it is approved

As soon as your application is reviewed and approved, your certificate is emailed to you as a signed PDF from an AHPRA-registered GP. The email also includes a secure link to view your certificate online — so you are never relying on a single attachment that is easy to lose.

View and download your certificate anytime

That secure link opens a private page showing your certificate, with a button to download the PDF whenever you need it. If you delete the email, change phones, or simply need another copy weeks later, you can return to the link and download it again — no need to contact support or reapply. The link is unique to you and cannot be guessed by anyone else.

Send your medical certificate to your employer in one step

Most people need their certificate to go to one place: their workplace. Rather than forwarding emails or downloading and re-attaching files, you can enter your employer or HR email address directly on your certificate page and send them a copy in one step. Your employer receives a tidy, professional email with your certificate attached and a link to confirm it is genuine.

Your employer can confirm it is authentic in seconds

Every Doctors Note certificate carries an employer-verification QR code and a verification link. Your workplace can confirm the certificate was issued by a registered doctor and has not been altered — without seeing any of your private medical details. If your HR team wants to check it themselves, our guide on how to verify a medical certificate walks them through it.

Why this matters

A medical certificate is a document you might need to produce more than once — for a manager, a payroll team, or your own records. Keeping it accessible online, downloadable on demand, and easy to share means one less thing to worry about while you are unwell. And because every copy is the same verifiable document issued by a named GP, your employer can trust it the moment it arrives.

Getting your certificate

If you need a medical certificate, the process takes a few minutes. Complete the online assessment and Dr Walia personally reviews your submission, usually within 24 hours. If a certificate is clinically appropriate, it is issued for one flat fee of $14.95 flat — then it is yours to view, download and share whenever you need.
