hello @Former-Member @Former-Member
go to your gp and ask for a sick certificate for the period that you were in hospital. if your gp wants proof. they can ask for report to be faxed through from hospital.
hospital should have asked who your gp was but more than likely didn't.
if gp tells you to do it.ask receptionist for details of fax..
ring hospital ask to be tsfd to ward that you were in, emergency dept wherever and ask for them to fax a copy of notes from your diagnosis to your doctor - give full name of doctor and name of clinic etc.
if no luck there. there should be a department freedom of information or some such name.
you would benefit if you have someone helping you to do this as you are not long out of hospital and should not be doing this on your own.
once you receive your sick certificate with relevant dates , take to centrelink with your helper and ask them to backdate your payment.
