Before you request a certificate
One day, for today
Our current service covers today's absence only. It does not cover past or future dates, or several days off work. For longer leave, speak with your GP.
Assessed by a pharmacist
A registered pharmacist assesses your request. If appropriate, they issue an absence-from-work certificate for sick or carer's leave. This is not a doctor-issued certificate.
$12.99 assessment fee
The fee is the same for sick leave and carer's leave. Payment does not guarantee approval. See our pricing and payment information.

For people aged 18 or over who live and work in Australia. You must wait 14 days after your last submission before applying again through MyMedicalCert. You can submit a request at any time; assessment and approval are not instant.
