Some companies are requesting staff to get a ‘COVID19 clearance’ from our doctors. RACGP issues clear instruction that such request is counter productive for this does not protect work environments or the public.
The Objective for a ‘Doctor certificate’ is to confirm someone who is not well instead of someone is ‘free from a disease.’ Specific instruction from the Government has been issues to company directors and can be viewed here. https://www.health.gov.au/sites/default/files/documents/2020/04/coronavirus-covid-19-information-for-employers_2.pdf
Please free free to discuss about your situation with our doctors but a ‘well certificate for COVID19’ is not something we will encourage to obtain from us. Our phone: 52481299.
