Why Instant Consult for Your Online Medical Certificate
Frequently Asked Questions
The rules for medical certificates remain the same, whether you obtain them online or through traditional methods. To be valid, a doctor’s certificate must have been issued by a medical practitioner who is registered with the Medical Board of Australia. This can be checked very easily by looking up the practitioner’s name or medical registration number on the board’s website. If the practitioner isn’t there, then the certificate is not legal.
Online Medical Certificate Guidelines
An online consultation must provide a proper assessment and accurate records, just like a face-to-face consultation. Any resulting example medical certificate has to be addressed directly to the employer, must be able to be read and understood by a non-medical person and include the following information:
- Patient’s name
- The name and provider number of the doctor who issued the certificate
- Dates of examination, certificate issuance, and when the patient became unfit for work
As long as the online certificate adheres to these guidelines, it will be legal and should be accepted by the employer. However, each employer might have specific policies regarding sick leave. So you should consult your employment contract or HR department for details pertinent to your situation.
If you require a Mask Exemption, ‘Fit for Work’ Certificate, ‘Fit to Fly’ Certificate, Childcare/’Back to School’ Clearance, Centrelink Certificate, University Form completed, Work Cover or Gym Cancellation Certificate, a certificate for missing police station attendances, parole or court appearances, or any external forms completed – you will need to present to a GP in-person to undergo a physical examination and will not be able to use the Instant Consult service for these types of medical documents.
No, as with regular face-to-face consultations, our doctors cannot backdate medical certificates. This is because there is no way the doctor can determine if you were too ill to attend work or school in the past, only in your present state.

No single vaccination schedule suits all travellers, and each schedule must be personalized by a physician according to the traveller’s previous vaccinations, health status and risk factors, the countries to be visited, the type and duration of travel, types of activities and the time available before departure. A medical consultation before departure is a good opportunity for a health care provider to review routine vaccinations and provide any vaccines that have been missed, in addition to providing the vaccinations indicated for the specific itinerary.
