No appointment. A registered Australian GP reviews your request and, if appropriate, issues your certificate — usually within one business day. One fixed fee of $14.95.
Three steps, about two minutes of your time.
Answer a few quick questions about your situation — sick leave, carer's leave or student. Fit-to-work has a separate return-to-work pathway.
A registered Australian GP personally reviews your request and decides whether a certificate is appropriate.
If approved, your certificate arrives by email — with a personal note from the doctor and an online verification link.
An AHPRA-registered Australian GP reviews every single request — it is never automatically issued.
Every certificate carries a unique reference and QR link so your employer can confirm it online in seconds.
Apply online in minutes from anywhere — most requests are reviewed within one business day.
Sick leave, carer's leave and student certificates — for genuine, straightforward short absences. Fit-to-work is handled through the dedicated return-to-work pathway.
For a genuine short absence, you can request a doctor-reviewed certificate online instead of waiting for a routine appointment. DoctorsNote is an Australian GP-reviewed pathway for straightforward medical certificate requests.
Complete the request online and have it reviewed by Dr Rupinder Singh Walia, an AHPRA-registered GP. A certificate is issued only when clinically appropriate.
If your need is straightforward and suitable for telehealth review, DoctorsNote can be faster than finding a same-day GP appointment.
The fee is $14.95 for a standard 1-2 day certificate. Approved certificates include a QR code and online verification page for employers.
Use urgent care, your regular GP or an in-person clinic if you are seriously unwell, worsening, need examination, or need emergency care.
