How It Works

Medical certificates are part of your consultation with your doctor. If you need one, the process is simple.

1

Book an appointment

Book an appointment with your doctor to discuss your health concern and any time away from work, school or other activities.

2

Discuss it with your doctor

Tell your doctor during your consultation that you need a medical certificate and explain the reason you require one.

3

Your doctor completes it

If your doctor considers a certificate appropriate, they will complete it as part of your consultation.

A Few Important Things to Know

Medical certificates are medical documents, so there are a few requirements doctors need to follow.

REQUEST IN ADVANCE

Ask during your consultation

If you need a medical certificate, please let your doctor know during your consultation so it can be discussed and completed at the appropriate time.

NO BACKDATING

Certificates cannot be backdated

Our doctors cannot provide backdated medical certificates. If you think you will need a certificate, please raise this with your doctor during your consultation.

DOCTOR'S ASSESSMENT

Certificates are not automatic

A medical certificate can only be issued when your doctor considers it appropriate based on your medical circumstances.

Forgot to Ask for a Certificate?

If you have already attended your consultation and forgot to request a medical certificate, please contact our reception team as soon as possible.

Please note: Reception can help you understand what steps you need to take, but only a doctor can assess your circumstances and issue a medical certificate.
