Who can issue a medical certificate in Australia?
Any AHPRA-registered healthcare professional is legally allowed to issue a medical certificate. However, they are required to review your condition and approve the certificate only after due consideration.
Can doctors backdate medical certificates in Australia?
No, doctors can’t backdate a medical certificate, it can only be issued for the day on which it is requested. A medical certificate is supposed to be an accurate reflection of a patient’s health status at the time of consultation. So, backdating would compromise the integrity of the document and is considered fraudulent.
However, our doctor may consider providing a certificate to cover a specified time period that you have been unwell for via Telehealth General Consultation.
Are online medical certificates legal and valid?
Yes, online medical certificates are legal and valid if issued by an AHPRA-registered medical professional, such as our team at Docmate.
