An online company is planning to sell fake doctors' sick notes that would allow people to take more time off.
The notes, available from www.doctorsnotestore.com, cost about $38 each and are already available in Britain, with delivery promised in 48 hours.
Medical authorities are warning employees against using the new service. "It is clearly inciting and abetting fraud," said Wayne Herdy, a doctor and lawyer from the Australian Medical Association in Queensland state. "It's a matter that even the police should be looking at," he told the Australian Associated Press.
While the products look "extremely authentic," the company said the notes are meant to be used as novelty items and not for any illegal purpose. "We are not responsible for misuse of our products. Please use our products with caution and care," the website says.
