Up to 5 days:
We can generate a medical certificate for up to 5 days. For your safety, you will need an in-person consultation if you need a longer time off work or school.
NZ Qualified Clinicians:
Your questionnaire will be reviewed by our clinical team at WeCare who will provide you with a medical certificate after a brief phone consultation at your selected time.
It's Safe:
Our clinicians will ask a few questions to ensure there are no clinical concerns and by having your consultation virtually you can minimise the spread of infections in a waiting room.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is an online medical certificate the same as a paper certificate?
Yes! We provide a signed medical certificate with all legal requirements met in PDF format to your email.
Can you back-date a Medical Certificate?
After speaking to our clinician and determined as appropriate, a medical certificate date range can be backdated to the beginning of your current illness. The medical certificate can only be issued for a maximum of 5 days total. The consultation date displayed on the medical certificate will be the date which you spoke to our clinician and this cannot be back-dated.
What if I need longer than 5 days off work?
If you are unwell and off work or school for longer than 5 days, you will need to be assessed by a doctor as there may be treatments or investigations required. You can either get a medical certificate for up to 5 days and then see how you feel OR book directly with your usual provider.
Can I get a WINZ or ACC medical certificate online?
Unfortunately we are not able to offer these medical certificates through our online service. Please book an in-person, video or phone consultation with your usual provider.
What if the clinician does not feel it is appropriate to issue a medical certificate?
If it is not deemed appropriate to issue a medical certificate, we will work with you to find the best option. This might be a virtual or phone consultation with a clinician OR an in-person appointment. The cost of the medical certificate will be credited to any other consultation required or refunded if no other appropriate option is available for you.
When will I receive my Medical Certificate?
You will receive your medical certificate by email immediately after your booked phone consultation with a clinician.
