MEDICAL CLEARANCE CERTIFICATES
Doctors are unable to routinely provide patients with COVID 19 clearance. The Australian government advice and guidelines recommend that COVID-19 testing resources are available to patients who show symptoms of COVID-19 or who have had close contact with a confirmed case. Doctors are unable to write employee clearance certificates for COVID. Any letter requested for your employer is not billable under medicare and a private fee for such a letter would need to be determined by your doctor.
