Medical Certificate Over the Phone

Too sick to leave home or unable to visit a clinic but need a medical certificate for work or school? You may be wondering: Can I get a doctor’s certificate online? Absolutely! Doctors on Demand makes it super simple to get a valid medical certificate without leaving the comfort of your home.

Our online medical certificate service makes it possible to obtain a legitimate doctor’s note for work or school without the hassle of commuting or waiting in a clinic. With Doctors on Demand, you can consult an experienced, Australian-registered doctor online via your computer, tablet, or smartphone—anytime, anywhere.

How to Get a Doctor’s Certificate Online in Australia and Why Do You Need One?

Many employers and schools in Australia require a medical certificate to confirm absences due to illness to avoid loss of pay, disciplinary action, or even dismissal for days missed. The last thing you want to do when you’re sick and rundown is to leave your house and travel to your doctor’s office for a consultation. That’s why we’ve made it easier than ever to obtain a doctor’s certificate online to save you time and make it as easy as possible—just three easy steps:

  • Register and book – Schedule an appointment at a time that’s convenient for you. We’re available 24/7, even on weekends and public holidays. 
  • Consult a qualified, AHPRA-registered doctor – Speak with the doctor about your symptoms and health concerns so they can assess your condition. Keep your Medicare and credit card handy for a smooth process. 
  • Obtain your certificate – If appropriate, the doctor will issue you with an online medical certificate, ready for you to share with your employer or school as proof of illness.
