Carer’s leave certificate: why you might need one

At Medical Certificates Australia, we understand the importance of being there for your loved ones when they need you most. Carer’s leave, also known as compassionate leave, is an entitlement provided to permanent employees under the Fair Work Act 2009. This type of leave allows employees to take time off work to care for a family member or household member who is ill, injured or facing an emergency. To support this, a carer’s certificate is often required by employers as proof.

Whether you're a full-time or part-time employee entitled to paid personal or carer’s leave or a casual employee eligible for unpaid leave, having the right documentation is essential. Our carer’s medical certificates are issued by AHPRA-registered doctors and serve as valid proof that your family member requires care, ensuring your leave is recognised and approved by your employer.

By obtaining your carer’s certificate online from Medical Certificates Australia, you can confidently take the necessary time off work. Gain peace of mind that your leave is justified and compliant with Australian workplace laws.
