Acceptable type of supporting evidence

When submitting an application to Ikon, such as for Special Consideration, Remittal of Fees, Withdrawal, or Leave of Absence, you may need to provide supporting evidence. Please ensure you submit relevant and appropriate documentation based on your application. Acceptable types of evidence include:

• Medical Certificate or Letter*: From a registered medical professional (not a family member).
• Letter of Support*: From a counsellor, lawyer, or psychologist (not a family member).
• Employer Letter: On official company letterhead.
• Letter from a Religious or Cultural Authority: On official letterhead or referencing a religious or cultural calendar.
• Death Certificate or Funeral Documentation: Such as a funeral pamphlet or certificate from a funeral director.
• Police Report or Event Number
• Letter from a Government Department: Such as the Department of Defence, Justice, or Emergency Services.
• Jury Notice or Court Summons: Notice from the relevant authority.
• Sports Commitment Confirmation: Selection confirmation or letter from the relevant body.
• Statutory Declaration: From individuals relevant to the circumstances.

Important

• Given evidence must be verifiable, meaning it should be objective and capable of confirmation. For instance, a team member may need to contact the issuing medical centre to verify the student’s attendance on the date indicated in the medical certificate.
• If the evidence is in a language other than English, it must be translated by an accredited translation service. Translations by family members or friends are not accepted. Accredited translators can be found at NAATI.

*Please also refer to Acceptable medical certificate or letter of support for more information.
