Pharmacy Medical Certificates in Australia
Find pharmacy medical certificate options in Australia. Check availability, assessment fees and employer requirements, or explore an online pharmacist assessment.
Need a medical certificate from a chemist or pharmacy? A pharmacist may be able to assess your request for an absence-from-work certificate. Call ahead to confirm the service, fee and pharmacist availability at your chosen location.
Prefer to apply from home? MyMedicalCert's online pharmacist assessment costs $12.99 AUD and covers today's absence only, with a one-day certificate emailed if approved.
What to check before visiting
- Does this pharmacy offer absence-from-work certificates?
- Is a pharmacist available today, and is an appointment needed?
- What is the assessment fee, including if a certificate is not issued?
- Does your workplace accept pharmacist-issued evidence, or require a doctor-issued certificate?
- Can the provider assess your circumstances and the period of leave you need?
Find a pharmacy near you
Use the Pharmacy Guild's Find a Pharmacy service or pharmacy directory, then contact the location directly. These are external directories; MyMedicalCert does not operate the listed pharmacies.

Online or in person?
An in-person visit may suit you if you want to speak with a pharmacist at a local pharmacy. An online request may suit you if you prefer to apply from home and meet the service's eligibility criteria. Both require assessment; a certificate is not guaranteed.

Evidence and verification
Check your workplace's requirements and read Fair Work's guidance. If your employer needs confirmation of a MyMedicalCert certificate, it can request verification.
