Medical Certificate Fees

The Medical Council has strict guidelines around the provision of medical certificates. This includes who can issue them and what process must be adhered to in order to validate the certificate.

Certificates issued without an appointment:

Where a certificate is requested and issued without an appointment with your GP or Nurse, a fee of $25.00 will apply.

Nurse Off work Certificate: 
This can be provided by our nursing staff either in person or over the phone. This is usually sufficient for most employers.

Certificates requiring an appointment:

Please note: If provided as part of a consultation, only the standard consultation fee will apply.  If a certificate is requested in addition to dealing with other medical issues during a consultation, there may be an additional fee for the certificate.

GP Off work certificate:
If this is required, a GP consultation is required. A phone consultation may be appropriate.

ACC Medical Certificates:
Require a GP appointment.

WINZ Medical capacity to work:
Certificates require a GP appointment.

Disability certificates:
Can usually be completed without an appointment, however the GP may request an appointment with you if more information is required.

Clearance to return to Preschool/School.

Unfortunately, we are having to deal with high numbers of requests from parents / caregivers for these types of certificates. We do not have the capacity to provide certificates to declare children well for return to school/preschool. This decision should be made between the parents and the preschool.

We will not issue these certificates and ask that parents / caregivers respect that we only have limited resources.  Please discuss this directly with your child’s preschool provider.
