This FOI release is a single table from the Department of Social Services recording daily workplace absences by category between 22 June and 5 July 2026, covering ten working days. For each day it shows counts of scheduled leave, unscheduled leave and a total number of leave requests. Daily totals range from 376 to 481, with the highest figure on Friday 3 July 2026 (481, comprising 285 scheduled and 196 unscheduled). Scheduled leave generally exceeds unscheduled leave on Fridays and the Monday after the 26 June period, while unscheduled leave is higher on most other days. Notes attached to the table explain that totals count leave requests rather than individual employees, that the same request may appear on multiple days, that requests range from a full day to an hour, and that some staff may appear under both leave types. The release contains no policy content, program information or decisions.
