Services

Start with the request you need

Both pathways collect information for an Australian doctor to assess. Starting a request does not mean that documentation will be issued.

Medical certificate

Request an assessment for work, study, carer or travel-related documentation. A doctor reviews the health information and dates you provide.

  • Single-day and multi-day request options
  • Reason and date details included in the assessment
  • Current pricing shown before payment

If clinically appropriate, the doctor may issue a medical certificate.

Start certificate request

Specialist referral

Tell a doctor which specialty you are seeking and why. The doctor may request more information before making a clinical decision.

  • Common specialties and a custom option
  • Preferred specialist details can be provided
  • Current pricing shown before payment

A referral is issued only when the reviewing doctor considers it suitable.
