Generally a medical certificate covers the period a clinician assesses you as unfit for work or study, usually from the consultation date. An Abby Health clinician may certify a short future period where it is clinically appropriate. Your doctor will discuss what suits your circumstances.
A doctor can only issue a certificate based on their honest clinical assessment. In some cases an Abby Health clinician may note that you reported being unwell from an earlier date, but certificates cannot be falsely backdated. Talk through your situation with the clinician during your consultation.
Most Abby Health patients speak with a clinician and receive their certificate within about 15 minutes through the First Available queue. You can also book a scheduled appointment for a time that suits you. The certificate is issued digitally as soon as the consultation is complete.
