Universities may require a medical certificate for missed lectures, assessments, or exams. HootHealth makes it simple — you can choose between a Single-Day Certificate, which is approved quickly without a video call, or a Multi-Day Doctor Certificate that includes a brief teleconsultation for personalised medical advice. Both options allow backdating where medically appropriate for recent absences, and your certificate is emailed directly to you — ready to upload to your student portal or submit with your special consideration form.

Are online medical certificates legal and accepted?
Absolutely. Online medical certificates in Australia are valid if issued by AHPRA-registered practitioners under telehealth guidelines. The Australian Medical Association (AMA) recognises these as legitimate evidence for absence, just like in-person certificates. Most universities accept them, especially after the rise of telehealth post-COVID. Always check your institution’s policy if unsure — HootHealth’s doctor-reviewed process ensures compliance and wide acceptance.
Telehealth should be seen as an additional tool to assist doctors to provide good medical care to their patients.
