Online Medical Certificate

An online medical certificate may provide supporting documentation when an illness affects your ability to attend work or study. Before arranging a consultation, consider the dates of your absence, your symptoms and any evidence requirements set by your employer or education provider. A telehealth appointment allows a doctor to discuss these circumstances and assess whether remote care is suitable. The practitioner must make an independent clinical decision about whether a certificate can be issued, so approval should never be assumed simply because an appointment has been booked.
