Is $14.95 the total cost for a standard certificate?

Yes. For standard sick leave, carer's leave and student certificates covering up to 2 days, $14.95 is the full charge. Fit-to-work starts from $29.95 and mental-health certificates use a separate $29.95 pathway.

Payment is processed securely online by card or PayPal, depending on the pathway shown at checkout. Payment is completed at the end of the application form, before certificate issuance.

Every standard $14.95 certificate includes

Personal review by Dr Rupinder Singh Walia (FRACGP, AHPRA MED0001647256, 28 years clinical practice)
If clinical criteria are met, a valid medical certificate delivered to your email within 24 hours
Cryptographic verification — your employer can confirm authenticity online at doctorsnote.com.au/verify
PDF certificate with doctor's name, signature, AHPRA number, and dates
Meets Fair Work Act 2009 certificate requirements
QR code linked to the verification registry

Just like a face-to-face GP consultation, the $14.95 standard-certificate fee covers Dr Walia's clinical assessment. If a certificate is clinically appropriate, it is included at no additional cost. If criteria are not met, the fee covers the review work completed — the same way a GP charges for a consultation whether or not a script or certificate is issued.

Pricing FAQ

Is $14.95 the total cost?

Yes. That is the full and only charge. There are no additional fees, priority charges, or subscription enrolments.

Do you offer discounts for multiple certificates?

Each certificate requires its own clinical review, so standard certificate pricing is $14.95 per certificate. Fit-to-work starts from $29.95 and mental-health certificates use a separate $29.95 pathway. For employer accounts with volume requirements, please see our employer page.

Is the $14.95 charge refundable if I am not issued a certificate?

Once your application is submitted and clinical review has commenced, the $14.95 standard-certificate fee is not refundable — regardless of whether a certificate is issued. The fee covers Dr Walia's clinical review itself, not the certificate. Refunds are only issued in cases of technical error (for example, duplicate payment or form submission failure). If you are unsure about eligibility, please check with our chat assistant before submitting your application.

How do I pay?

Secure card payment and PayPal. Payment is processed at the end of the application form, before certificate issuance.

Why do some sites advertise cheaper prices?

Cheaper advertised prices are often base prices before surge fees, priority-processing fees, or monthly subscription enrolments. The $14.95 standard-certificate price you see on this page is the full cost at DoctorsNote.
