This single-page FOI release from the Department of Social Services is a table of workplace absences, titled "Total workplace absences by category", covering Monday 22 June to Sunday 5 July 2026. It records 4,215 leave requests in total: 2,080 scheduled and 2,135 unscheduled. The notes explain that these are counts of requests in the leave system by day, not individual staff numbers. Requests vary in length from an hour to a full fortnight, and some employees may appear under both leave categories or submit multiple leave types, so the totals overstate the number of distinct staff absent. The document contains no program, policy or service-delivery content.
