Sick Notes Through Telehealth

Obtaining a sick note no longer requires a visit to a clinic.

This service is ideal for individuals who are too unwell to travel or prefer the convenience of remote healthcare.

What Is a Sick Note?

A sick note (also known as a medical certificate) is an official document issued by a licensed healthcare provider to confirm that you are unfit to work, attend school, or fulfill other responsibilities due to illness. It details the duration of your condition and the recommended recovery time, ensuring that you can take the necessary time off to rest and recover.

Our Sick Note Services

At Lifeline Telehealth, we provide sick notes for a range of situations:

• Short-Term Illnesses: For conditions such as colds, flu, or mild viral infections, we can issue sick notes for 1-2 days or 3-5 days based on your recovery needs.
• Ongoing Health Issues: If your condition requires a longer recovery period, we can provide extended sick notes for chronic conditions or more serious illnesses.
• Workplace or School Documentation: Our sick notes are valid for submission to employers or schools and are issued according to New Zealand healthcare regulations.
