Why NSW Residents Choose NextClinic for Online Medical Certificates
Life in NSW moves quickly. From the bustling streets of Sydney to the relaxed coastal towns, when illness strikes, the last thing you need is to spend precious recovery time in a waiting room. NextClinic's online medical certificate service allows you to rest and recover while still getting the documentation you need for work or study.
The Growing Demand for Online Medical Certificates in NSW
The digital healthcare landscape in NSW has evolved significantly in recent years. More employers and educational institutions across the state now accept online medical certificates, recognizing them as legitimate alternatives to in-person documentation. This shift acknowledges the practical challenges of visiting a doctor for minor illnesses that primarily require rest.

Request medical certificateFAQs
Are online medical certificates legal in NSW?
In NSW, online medical certificates can be legally valid if they meet certain requirements:
- They must be issued by a registered medical practitioner
- The doctor must conduct a proper consultation (video or phone)
- The certificate must include the doctor's details and provider number
- Online consultations should follow the same standard of care as in-person visits
The Medical Council of NSW and Medical Board of Australia recognize telehealth as a legitimate means of providing medical services, including issuing certificates. However, employers and organizations maintain the right to establish their own policies regarding acceptance of online certificates.
For specific legal advice or guidance on particular situations, consult with a qualified legal professional.
How many days can I request for an online medical certificate in NSW?
In NSW, there's no specific legal limit on the number of days for which an online medical certificate can be issued. The appropriate duration depends on:
- The medical practitioner's professional judgment
- The nature and severity of your illness/condition
- When follow-up care might be needed
We currently cover 1-2 days for minor illnesses.
Is it possible to backdate online medical certificates?
Sorry, we cannot backdate online medical certificates. However, a two-day medical certificate can cover up to 24 hours before the digital consultation date.
You may find more answers about backdated certificates here.
How can my workplace or school/university verify the authenticity of the medical certificate?
Each online medical certificate issued by NextClinic includes a QR code that allows employers and schools to easily verify its authenticity, ensuring that your sick leave certificate online is legitimate and accepted.
Can I get a sick certificate online for multiple days?
Yes, you can request a 2-day medical certificate if you need to take more than one day off. This option is perfect for minor illnesses that require a bit more time to recover.
Will I receive a refund if not satisfied?
You won't be charged until your request for a medical certificate has been approved. If our doctors reject your medical certificate based on clinical judgment or any other reason, you won't be charged. You should receive a rejection email along with a refund receipt from Stripe in such cases.
