Request a Sick Note

Sale price Price R 330.00 Regular price

If you're ill and require a medical certificate for work or school (commonly referred to as a sick note or doctor's note) but are unable to visit a doctor due to distance, difficulty scheduling an appointment, or other constraints, you can request one after an assessment by one of our doctors online.

 

What you should know

  • Receive a full refund if we can’t provide a medical certificate
  • All certificates will be issued at the discretion of the medical practitioner following a telehealth assessment. Should the practitioner believe there's insufficient evidence, none will be issued
  • If you have any concerns, we encourage you to research the relevant regulations regarding the use of telehealth platforms before drawing conclusions or making false reports against medical practices


We offer two options:

  • Mild symptoms - 1 to 2 days
  • Symptoms requiring more than 2 days of leave (may include blood test)

How it works

 
Place a request

Based on the severity of your symptoms or illness, you may select either 1-2 days or more than 2 days of leave.


Please note that a medical certificate will only be issued for absences exceeding 2 days, at the doctor's discretion. A blood test (no additional charge) may be requested, based on the doctor’s professional judgment.
