Bettr for medical certificates:
Getting a medical certificate is easy with Bettr, whether it's for a WINZ medical capacity certificate*, sickness certificates or other applications like ACC. And you can stay resting in bed. In most cases we can email you the certificate soon after your online appointment finishes. We can also help you with any medications or other support you might need to get well, during the same appointment. Learn more
ACC and injury care with Bettr:
We can help with ACC referrals and care too. This might include specialist referrals for ongoing therapy and treatment, or follow-up online consultations with a Bettr online clinician, as part of your post-injury care plan. If you need an initial ACC assessment or aren’t an existing customer of Bettr, you’ll need to see a clinician in person at one of our clinics as a first step. Learn more
*WINZ medical capacity certificates are not possible for newly enrolled patients or other patients where we do not hold full GP medical records
