Step 6 - Doctor Consultation
At your appointment session time, check in on WhatsApp by sending Dr Jimmy a message so he knows you are available and waiting to begin the consultation.
Please ensure you have WhatsApp installed first before checking in. Further details will be emailed to you once you have booked the appointment successfully.
If you are unable to install WhatsApp or prefer not to use it, you may check in online via the live chat feature on our website by clicking on the chat bubble icon. However, the connection is less reliable and we may need to restart the consultation from the beginning should you get disconnected.
Further instructions will be provided to you once you have checked in.
If you are unable to attend your appointment, you may try again at the next available session time. Dr Jimmy is typically available for catch-up consultations at around 9 PM Melbourne time via WhatsApp only.
Step 7 - Get Certificate
If there are no concerns, you will receive your certificate by email usually within 2-5 hours depending on your appointment type (latest by midnight).
A consultation is a discussion between a patient and a doctor to assess symptoms, provide medical advice, and plan treatment.
According to the
Medical Board of Australia
WhatsApp is a secure instant messaging app that allows users to communicate in real time via text, voice or video.
Some of its benefits include:
Our services are completely private and are not covered by Medicare.
We believe that prevention is better than cure. We therefore do not ask for logins or passwords and do not store any of your personal details on our website.
Instead, data collected when
you make a booking (including payment details) is handled by
Halaxy
They have "256-bit bank grade security and encryption", which means your "records, notes, and payment information are protected to the same level required by banks".
Yes, our Medical Certificates can also be used for your university or school.
A Standard Consult ($45) is required if you need a certificate for either class attendance or assessment purposes, or both.
If you need a letter of support or help in completing special consideration forms, you will need to book a Priority Consult ($89).
A Carer's Certificate, also known as a "Carer's leave certificate", certifies that you are unable to work because you are caring for someone who is unwell.
The certificate will include the name of the person being cared for and their relationship to you. You will be asked to provide these details in the intake form as well as details about their medical condition.

According to the Australian Medical Association (AMA)
guidelines
Certificates must be dated on the day on which they are written. The terms "backdate" or "backdated" used by us will therefore always refer to the second meaning.
A Backdated Medical Certificate certifies that you were unfit for work prior to the date that you are seen or assessed. It is issued after careful consideration of your circumstances.
This is not to be confused with the issue date of the certificate, which is the date on which the certificate is written. This date cannot be backdated or forward dated.
