Yes. All medical certificates issued by NextClinic are compliant with Fair Work Australia requirements and are legally valid throughout Canberra, the ACT, and nationwide. Our certificates are issued by AHPRA-registered doctors and contain all the necessary information required by employers and educational institutions.
What information is included on the medical certificate?

Can I get a certificate for more than 2 days?
Currently, NextClinic specialises in providing online medical certificates for short-term absences of either one (1) or two (2) consecutive days, suitable for minor illnesses requiring rest. If you anticipate needing more than two days off, it's best to consult with a GP in person for a more thorough assessment.
What conditions are suitable for obtaining an online carer's certificate?
Online carer's certificates are suitable for situations where you need to care for a family member with minor, self-limiting illnesses such as a cold, flu, or mild injuries. However, for more serious conditions that require a physical examination or specialised care, an in-person visit to a healthcare provider may be necessary. Always consult with your doctor if you are unsure.
