Telehealth medical certificates are suitable for common short-term illness. If your condition needs in-person examination, imaging, or urgent care, we will recommend appropriate alternatives instead of issuing a certificate.
Six clinical and governance details that separate a Doccy medical certificate from a filled-out online form.
Every online medical certificate is reviewed and signed by a doctor registered with AHPRA's public register. Clinically accountable care, not an automated form.
Every patient completes a real telehealth consult before a certificate is issued. Our AI preconsult agent gathers history first, and a doctor then reviews and speaks with you directly, in line with the Medical Board of Australia's technology-based consultation guidelines.
Every certificate carries a unique verification code your employer, uni, or TAFE can confirm at doccy.com.au/verify. This meets the Fair Work Ombudsman's “reasonable evidence” standard for sick and carer's leave.
Doccy is run by registered doctors. Every clinical decision on the platform is made by a clinician, supported by a documented clinical-governance framework.
Your medical certificate is emailed the moment the reviewing doctor approves it. No promotional claims about speed, just straightforward clinical workflow.
We issue certificates where telehealth is clinically appropriate. The Australian Medical Association's telehealth position statement recognises this model; where an in-person assessment is needed, we tell you and point you to the right care.
Our AI preconsult agent gathers your clinical history before a registered Australian doctor reviews, speaks with you, and signs your certificate.
A short online form captures your symptoms, medical history, and the days you need covered. Takes about two minutes, available 24/7, no appointment booking.
What's going on?
You join a short call with our AI preconsult agent. It asks about your medical history and symptoms, and the answers go to the reviewing doctor so they have a complete clinical picture before your consultation starts.
An AHPRA-registered Australian doctor reviews the preconsult, speaks with you to verify your details, and once your assessment is complete, emails your medical certificate straight away.
Clear answers on validity, backdating, and scope, grounded in the Australian Medical Association's telehealth guidance and Australian law.
A medical certificate (also called a doctor’s certificate, sick note, or med cert) is an official document from a registered doctor confirming you have a medical reason to take time off work, uni, or other commitments.
Online medical certificates issued by an AHPRA-registered doctor after a proper telehealth consultation are legally valid in Australia, carrying the same legal weight as one issued from a bricks-and-mortar GP clinic.
If you were too unwell to see a doctor earlier in the week, a Doccy doctor can certify that your symptoms started earlier, based on your clinical history, where that is clinically justified.
Australian law doesn’t let us change the certificate’s issue date, but the days it covers can be backdated. At no extra cost, when clinically appropriate.
Four common clinical situations where a telehealth medical certificate is appropriate documentation. Under the Fair Work Act, Australian employers can request reasonable evidence for sick leave, and a certificate from an AHPRA-registered doctor meets that test.
