Your Health & Time Matter
Why WA Chooses NextClinic for Online Medical Certificates
Life in WA is unique – from the bustling city vibes of Perth to the stunning coastlines and regional centres. We understand that when you're unwell, convenience is key. 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.
Skip the Wait, Embrace the Convenience
Forget battling traffic on the Kwinana Freeway or sitting in a waiting room feeling worse by the minute. Whether you're juggling work commitments in the CBD, studying at uni, or managing life in a regional town, illness shouldn't mean added stress. NextClinic provides a 100% online solution. Request your doctor's certificate online from your couch, bed, or wherever you're resting up. It's perfect for those common, straightforward ailments like colds, mild flu, gastro, migraines, or when you just need a day to recover from exhaustion. Get the sick leave sorted quickly so you can focus purely on recovery.
Trusted, Legitimate, and Secure Care Online
Worried if an online medical certificate is valid? Absolutely. Every certificate issued through NextClinic is provided by a qualified doctor registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA). While our dedicated doctors aren't based in WA, they are fully licensed to provide telehealth services across Australia, adhering strictly to the Medical Board of Australia's guidelines. This ensures your certificate is legitimate and meets employer or university requirements for short absences (1-2 days). We also prioritise your privacy with bank-level security for all your information.
More Than Just Medical Certificates
NextClinic is evolving to be your partner in accessible online healthcare. Beyond requesting an online medical certificate, our platform also allows you to conveniently request repeat prescriptions for common medications or obtain specialist referrals, all from the comfort of your home. We're simplifying access to routine healthcare needs for busy West Australians.
Knowing When In-Person Care is Best
While getting a medical certificate online is incredibly convenient for minor illnesses, it's not suitable for everything. Serious symptoms, injuries, chronic condition flare-ups, or anything requiring a physical examination needs face-to-face assessment with a local GP or potentially urgent care. Our doctors are trained to recognise these situations. If your online request isn't clinically appropriate, we'll advise you to seek in-person care immediately, ensuring your health and safety always come first. Your wellbeing is our priority.
Don’t just take our words for it
We are trusted by thousands of Western Australians for their everyday healthcare needs

Great service, especially useful for those of us in regional WA."
David R. - Geraldton, WA

Request medical certificateFAQs
Is an online medical certificate from NextClinic accepted in Western Australia?
Yes! Our medical certificates are issued by experienced, AHPRA-registered Australian doctors. They are legitimate documents commonly accepted by employers and educational institutions across WA and Australia for short absences (1 or 2 days) due to minor illness. We adhere to Australian medical standards.
How quickly will I receive my medical certificate?
Once you submit your request form, one of our Australian doctors will typically review it within 60 minutes during our operating hours. If approved, your certificate is generated instantly and sent securely to your email address. You can also download it from your NextClinic patient portal.
How much does an online medical certificate cost?
We offer competitive pricing for our convenient service. Our standard 1 day medical certificates start from a low fee of $19.90, and 2 day medical certificates only cost $29.90. Importantly, you are only charged if your request is reviewed by a doctor and your medical certificate is approved and issued.
Are the doctors who issue the certificates based in WA?
While our AHPRA-registered doctors may not be physically located in Western Australia, they are fully qualified and licensed to provide telehealth consultations and issue medical certificates to patients across all of Australia, including WA. They provide care according to strict Australian standards.
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 if I needed yesterday off? Can I get a backdated certificate?
We cannot issue certificates solely for a past date ("backdating"). However, if you are still unwell today and require a two-day certificate, it can cover today and the previous day, provided you submit your request today and meet the criteria. This covers a continuous period of illness.
What conditions are suitable for an online medical certificate?
This service is ideal for common, self-limiting conditions where rest is the primary treatment, such as colds, mild flu-like symptoms, gastro, usual migraines, period pain, or stress/exhaustion requiring a brief recovery period. It is not suitable for serious conditions, injuries, or anything requiring a physical examination.
What other services does NextClinic offer online?
Besides online medical certificates, NextClinic also provides convenient online consultations for requesting repeat prescriptions for many common medications and obtaining referrals to specialists, helping you manage more of your routine health needs online.
