What Is An Online Medical Certificate?

A medical certificate is an official document issued by a doctor after they have assessed your condition.

With Updoc, all you need to do is complete a quick questionnaire and your AHPRA-registered Partner Doctor will review your request and contact you with any follow up questions. It’s simple and convenient.
