How quickly can I get a medical certificate?

Most certificates are issued within minutes. After completing the online form, clinical safety screening, and payment, a doctor reviews your full clinical handover and your certificate is emailed directly to you as a PDF.

How much does an online medical certificate cost?

A standard DoccyMed medical certificate costs $10.95 AUD. A Centrelink SU415 medical certificate costs $35.00 AUD. Both include the telehealth consultation, certificate generation, and email delivery with QR verification.

Is DoccyMed just a questionnaire?

No. Unlike questionnaire-based services, DoccyMed provides real clinical consultations. We include clinical safety screening, AI-captured clinical context reviewed by a doctor, real-time emergency detection with phone escalation, two-way secure messaging, and a 1-hour post-consult support window. The Medical Board of Australia has stated that questionnaire-only services are not good practice.

Can I get a backdated medical certificate?

Certificates can be issued for recent illness periods. The dates will be reviewed by the doctor as part of the consultation process.

For ongoing conditions like depression, anxiety, or chronic pain, doctors can issue exemptions of up to 13 weeks (3 months). For acute conditions, 1-4 weeks is typical.
