Eligibility Criteria to Get

Getting a medical certificate from Virtual Clinic is designed for convenience, but it's important to understand our eligibility criteria and scope of service. As a telehealth service, we are not a substitute for in-person GP consultations for critical care and emergencies.


Online Medical Certificates: What You Need to Know
  • For Students and Employees: We provide online medical certificates specifically for sick leave. This service is available to employees and higher education students over 18 years of age.

  • For Ongoing Minor Illnesses: An online sick certificate is only applicable for ongoing minor illnesses such as the common cold, cough, sore throat, headache, upset stomach, and mild stress. Please remember, we cannot backdate the document, so you must contact us on the day you take your leave and while you are still sick.

  • Certificate Frequency: To ensure fair access, clients are eligible to receive one medical certificate every 90 days.

  • Important Medical Advice Disclaimer: Please note that our service does not offer medical advice. If you have any health concerns, we strongly recommend visiting your GP for a comprehensive assessment.
