Imagine waking up feeling unwell in Glenelg, needing a day off from your job in the CBD, or studying from home in Mount Gambier.

Getting your medical certificate online through NextClinic means you can stay put, conserving your energy for recovery. Whether you've got a common cold, a bout of gastro, or a splitting headache, prioritise your rest and let us handle the certificate digitally. It's the smart choice for minor illnesses when you know rest is the best medicine.

Trusted Australian Doctors, Accessible from Anywhere in SA
Worried if an online certificate is legitimate? Absolutely. While our doctors may not be based in South Australia, every practitioner working with NextClinic is fully registered with AHPRA (Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency). This means they adhere to the high standards set by the Medical Board of Australia. You receive the same level of professional assessment for suitability for a 1-2 day medical certificate as you would expect from any registered doctor, ensuring your medical certificate online is valid and compliant for your employer or educational institution. Your health information is also kept secure and confidential, adhering to strict Australian privacy laws.
Need More Than a Sick Note? We Can Help Online Too!
NextClinic isn't just about online medical certificates. If you need a repeat prescription for a regular medication or require a referral to see a specialist, our online platform can assist with these requests too. Manage common health needs efficiently without the need for an in-person appointment in many cases. Explore how our convenient online services can support your health management from anywhere in South Australia.
When is an Online Certificate Right for You?
Our online medical certificate service is ideal for straightforward, short-term minor illnesses where you need confirmation for 1 or 2 days off work or study. Think colds, mild flu-like symptoms, gastro, migraines, or period pain. However, it's not suitable for serious conditions, injuries, chronic illness management, or situations requiring a physical examination. Our doctors will assess your request, and if they believe your condition requires in-person care, they will advise you accordingly. We currently provide certificates for up to two consecutive days (which can include the previous day if requested on the second day of illness, but we do not issue backdated certificates beyond this). Your health and safety are our priority.

Request medical certificateFAQs
Are online medical certificates legal in SA?
Yes, medical certificates issued through telehealth consultations by AHPRA-registered Australian doctors are a legitimate form of evidence for demonstrating inability to attend work or study in South Australia, consistent with requirements under legislation like the Fair Work Act 2009. NextClinic ensures all certificates are provided by qualified, AHPRA-registered practitioners adhering to Australian medical standards. While widely accepted, final acceptance is always subject to your specific employer's or institution's sick leave policy.

Who are the doctors providing the certificate? Are they based in SA?
Your medical certificate request will be assessed by an experienced Australian doctor who is fully registered with AHPRA (Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency). They meet all required Australian medical standards. While our doctors provide care nationally via telehealth and may not be physically located in South Australia, this does not impact the validity or legitimacy of the medical certificate provided.
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.
Do I pay if my online medical certificate request isn't approved?
No, you are only charged if your request for a medical certificate is reviewed and approved by one of our doctors. If, for clinical reasons, we cannot issue a certificate via telehealth, there is no fee.
Is an online 2 day sick certificate valid for school?
Absolutely. An online 2 day sick certificate from NextClinic is valid for school purposes. Our certificates are issued by Australian-registered doctors and include all necessary details for verification by educational institutions.
