This FOI release contains an SES diary extract for the week of 25-29 September 2023 from the Department of Health and Aged Care, showing the schedule of senior officials including Secretary Blair Comley. The document records staff leave and acting arrangements during the period, with multiple senior executives on leave or traveling overseas on official business (Minister Wells in Switzerland and France, Meghan Quinn overseas). The diary entries indicate meetings attended by Secretary Comley, including a meeting with Dr Robyn Lawrence (Chief Executive, South Australian Department for Health) in Adelaide on 27 September, Mental Health Reform Advisory Committee meetings, a Capability Review Action Plan meeting, and internal briefings on health reform proposals and budget matters. The document contains minimal substantive policy information and primarily reflects administrative scheduling and leave management across the department during this period. No specific clinical, regulatory, or program data is disclosed.
