What is an Online Medical Certificate?
A medical certificate is a formal document provided by a doctor following an assessment of your health condition.
Whether you’re unwell, recovering or caring for someone, a medical certificate, also referred to as a doctor’s certificate or sick note, validates your absence from work or school, allowing you to focus on what matters most.
Getting a medical certificate online with MediLeave is simple, secure and designed to fit around your schedule. All it takes is three easy steps to connect with an AHPRA-registered doctor online. The doctor will review your health concerns and, if clinically appropriate, email you a certificate for your immediate use; all without stepping outside your door.
