As winter looms, coughs, colds and workplace confusion are on the rise — and Sicky, Australia’s leading provider of telehealth sick notes, is here to educate. With over 133,000 medical consults under its belt, the platform says employer scepticism is snowballing — they’re now fielding three enquiries a day questioning the legitimacy of their sick certificates, up from just one a month this time last year.

Appearing on Channel 7 News across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth, Sicky co-founder Avinash Vazirani explained how telehealth sick notes are 100% legal.

With a 108% spike in flu-related sick leave, telehealth is more critical than ever.
