Medical certificate guidance for Queensland
Practical information for Queensland workers, including workplace evidence, the state’s expanding community-pharmacy services and regional access.
Evidence and employer policies
For employees covered by the national workplace system, Fair Work guidance allows an employer to request evidence for one day or less. Your award, enterprise agreement or workplace policy may set the process, so provide notice promptly and confirm what your employer accepts.
Queensland’s expanding pharmacy scope
Queensland Health says specified expanded-scope pharmacy services moved into business-as-usual arrangements in July 2025, while a chronic-conditions pilot continues. Availability still depends on the pharmacy, trained pharmacist and service offered.

A pharmacist-issued certificate may be used as workplace evidence. Fair Work does not prescribe one fixed type of evidence, but it must satisfy a reasonable person and your award, agreement or workplace policy may set additional requirements. Check your employer’s policy before applying.
Queensland has progressively expanded the conditions participating community pharmacists may manage. That program is separate from this certificate service, but it means local clinical services can differ by pharmacy, pharmacist training and location.
Yes, for employees covered by the national Fair Work system. Evidence may be requested for one day or less, and a workplace instrument or policy may specify the preferred format.
Check the pharmacy’s hours, pharmacist availability and whether the service is offered before travelling. If online assessment is not clinically suitable, use Healthdirect to locate the nearest appropriate in-person service.
