Save up to $15.90 on a Medical Certificate: Use a Statutory Declaration as Evidence for Sick/Carer's Leave @ Fair Work Ombudsman
Under Fair Work Australia guidelines found here(fairwork.gov.au), you can use a statutory declaration instead of a medical certificate as evidence for sick and carer's leave. Using a Statutory Declaration can save you up to $15.90 when compared to a medical certificate and potentially up to $40 for a GP consultation. It will also reduce time spent in waiting rooms. It’s a cost-effective and convenient solution that's not widely known, providing significant savings and benefits.
