Sick in ACT?

Life in Canberra moves fast. When you're not feeling 100%, slowing down is essential, but navigating healthcare admin shouldn't add to your stress. NextClinic offers a modern solution for those minor illnesses that need rest, not a lengthy clinic visit. Skip the waiting room, and sort out your medical certificate without leaving your bed at all.

Remember the last time you felt unwell? The thought of getting dressed, driving, finding parking, and then sitting in a waiting room probably wasn't appealing. Especially if it's just a common cold, mild gastro, or a tension headache needing a day of rest. With NextClinic, you bypass all that. Request your online medical certificate from your couch, bed, or wherever you're most comfortable in Canberra. Use that precious energy for recovery, not commuting. It's about getting the documentation you need without the unnecessary hassle, allowing you truly use your sick day to get better.

Worried if an online medical certificate is valid? Rest assured. Every certificate issued through NextClinic is provided by a fully qualified, AHPRA-registered Australian doctor. While our doctors consult remotely and aren't based in the ACT, they uphold the rigorous professional standards required across Australia. This means the certificate you receive is legitimate documentation suitable for employers and educational institutions throughout the ACT and nationwide. We prioritise compliant, ethical telehealth practices, ensuring you receive care and documentation you can trust.

Our service is perfectly suited for those common, short-term ailments where rest and staying home are the best medicine. Think viral sniffles, the first day of a stomach bug, period pain, or those times when stress or exhaustion simply catches up with you, requiring a 'duvet day' to recharge. For these situations, obtaining your 1 or 2-day doctor's certificate online via NextClinic is incredibly practical. However, for serious conditions, injuries needing physical assessment, or medical emergencies, please always seek in-person medical attention or contact emergency services immediately. Our doctors will advise seeking in-person care if your online request isn't clinically appropriate for telehealth.

NextClinic is here for more than just when you need a day off. We're building a convenient hub for various online health needs for ACT residents. Need a repeat prescription for a regular medication? Looking for a referral to see a specialist? Our platform simplifies these requests too, connecting you with Australian-registered doctors who can assist remotely. It’s about making essential healthcare services more accessible and convenient for your busy Canberra life.
