Online services advertising “$0” or “free certificates” rely on Medicare exemptions that most people do not actually end up qualifying for (such as living in a disaster zone). Then, when you fail their “eligibility check”, you get hit with a private fee, often much higher than ours.
Qoctor’s one day medical certificate consultations are an affordable $14.99, and just $21.99 for 1-2 days. You can read about the costs of our different medical certificates services, including backdated certs, medical certificates for multiple days, Centrelink medical certificates and special consideration forms for university on our main medical certificate page.
Your own local GP, if they are fully bulk-billing, may be able to provide a “free medical certificate” following a phone or video consultation, but only if you have attended them in person in the past 12 months. However, same day service may not be available in all clinics.
