Yes. Doccy medical certificates are legally valid in Australia, issued by AHPRA-registered doctors following an online consultation. They meet the requirements for sick and carer's leave under the Fair Work Act 2009 and are accepted by employers, universities, and government agencies.
Issued by real Australian doctors
Doccy certificates are issued by fully registered Australian doctors — the same standard as a GP visit. Other online services may rely on nurse practitioners or pharmacy certificates, which sit in a grayer legal area. Every Doccy consultation is conducted by an AHPRA-registered medical practitioner, which is the qualification Fair Work requires.
A certified Australian company
Doccy is an ABN-registered Australian company, doctor-founded, and powered by Medlo Pty Ltd — a locum agency that places doctors in hospitals across the country. Doccy is also independently certified through LegitScript, which verifies that a healthcare provider operates with proper medical licensing and regulatory compliance.
Valid for short and long-term illness
Doccy certificates cover both short-term absences (1–3 days) and longer periods of illness, and are accepted across employment, education, and government contexts.
