Woke up with a sore throat or a pounding headache? We’ve all been there—too crook to drag yourself to the GP, but you still need that medical certificate to keep the boss happy. With Qoctor, you can skip the waiting room and get a legit, employer-trusted sick cert online in minutes. Whether it’s the flu, a dodgy tummy, or just needing a mental health day, here’s how to sort it fast—because sick days shouldn’t mean stress.

Why Online Certs Are a Game-Changer
Let’s face it—traditional GP visits are a slog. You’re waiting weeks for an appointment, burning petrol, and sitting in a germy waiting room for an hour, all for a five-minute chat. Qoctor flips that script. For just $14.99, you can request a same-day certificate delivered straight to your inbox. Qoctor is led by doctors, and using video call as far as possible- so it’s trusted by big employers like Coles and Deloitte. It’s also cheap, quick, and— with experienced doctors available from 8 AM to midnight, 365 days a year, Qoctor fits your schedule, not the other way around.
How It Works: 3 simple steps
Getting a sick cert with Qoctor is as easy as ordering takeaway—here’s the drill. Step one: hop onto qoctor.com.au and book a slot. It takes about a minute to pick a time that suits you—no queues, no fuss. Step two: jump on a quick video or phone chat with a real Aussie doctor. They’ll ask about your symptoms (think sniffles, fever, or exhaustion) and make sure you’re genuinely under the weather—don’t worry, they’re pros at keeping it simple. Step three: boom, your certificate lands in your email, ready to send to work or uni. Most consults are sorted in under 10 minutes—faster than brewing a cuppa.
When Should You Use It?
Qoctor’s perfect for those everyday ills that knock you flat but don’t need a hospital trip. Caught the flu that’s going around? Tick. Sinusitis making your face ache? Yep. Even a migraine or a rough night’s sleep can qualify—because sometimes you just need a breather. It’s not for emergencies (call 000 for that), but for the usual suspects—colds, allergies, or a tummy bug—it’s spot on. Bonus: if you’re a parent, you can grab a carer’s cert.
Why Wait?
Life’s too short to mess around when you’re feeling rotten. Qoctor’s telehealth is built for speed and trust, backed by over 11,000 Trustpilot reviews averaging 4+ stars. Don’t let a sick day derail you—get it sorted and get back to resting (or binging Netflix guilt-free).
