Why DoctorsNote

Why This Certificate Stands Up When Checked

Fast certificates are easy to sell. Trustworthy certificates are harder to build. DoctorsNote is designed around doctor review, clear accountability and employer verification.

1

Doctor Actually Reviews Your Case

Not auto-approved in seconds. An AHPRA-registered GP reads your application and decides whether a certificate is clinically appropriate. Your employer sees a named doctor with real accountability.

2

Built to Be Verified

Every certificate includes a QR code and reference number so your employer can confirm authenticity online. No clinic phone calls, no reception delays and no uncertainty about whether it is genuine.

3

Reviewed Under Clinical Authority

FRACGP, AHPRA registered and 28 years of clinical practice. Your certificate is not from an anonymous online service. It is backed by a doctor whose details can be checked.

Verifiable doctor reviewed certificates

Asked for proof at work?

When you are genuinely unwell and your workplace asks for evidence, you need more than a fast PDF. You need a certificate your employer can check if anyone questions it.

  • QR verification included

  • Employer authenticity check available online

Questions before applying

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers for workers who need medical evidence quickly and privately.

Can I backdate a medical certificate for work?

No. DoctorsNote does not issue backdated medical certificates. This protects clinical and document integrity.

Will my employer see my diagnosis?

No. Your certificate confirms whether you were medically unfit for work on specified dates. It does not disclose your diagnosis, symptoms or treatment.

How long does the GP review take?

Applications are reviewed within 24 hours. If clinically appropriate, your certificate is emailed to you as a PDF.

Is the certificate suitable for work evidence?

Yes. It is designed as workplace evidence when clinically appropriate and includes doctor details, dates and verification information.

Can my employer verify the certificate online?

Yes. Every certificate includes a QR code and reference number so your employer can check authenticity online.

Is this the same as a sick note for work?

Many Australians use the terms medical certificate, doctor's note and sick note to mean evidence for work absence.

What if my application is declined?

If a certificate is not clinically appropriate, you will be informed. The fee covers the doctor’s clinical assessment of your application, which is carried out regardless of the outcome, and is not refundable.

Is a doctors note for work the same as a medical certificate?

Yes. A doctors note for work, sick note for work, and medical certificate are generally used interchangeably by employers in Australia.

Can I get a sick note for work online?

Yes. You can apply for a sick note for work that is reviewed by Dr Rupinder Singh Walia and delivered within 24 hours.
