Is an online medical certificate legitimate in Australia?

Yes. Under Australian telehealth guidelines, medical certificates issued by AHPRA-registered doctors following a telehealth consultation are legally valid and accepted by employers, universities, and government agencies including Centrelink and Services Australia.

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.

Can employers verify my medical certificate?

Yes. Every DoccyMed certificate includes a unique QR code and reference number. Employers can scan the QR code or visit our verification page to confirm authenticity instantly.

Can I get a Centrelink medical certificate online?

Yes. DoccyMed issues official Centrelink SU415 medical certificates for $35. These are issued by AHPRA-registered doctors following a real telehealth consultation and are fully compliant with Services Australia requirements. Ideal for depression, anxiety, chronic pain, and other long-term conditions.

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.

How long can a Centrelink medical certificate last?

For conditions like depression, anxiety, and other long-term conditions, a Centrelink medical certificate can provide up to 3 months (13 weeks) exemption as standard. The duration is determined by the treating doctor based on your condition.

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.
