This FOI release is a single data table recording the daily number of workplace absences of Department of Finance staff across 15 days, from 22 June to 6 July 2026. Absences are broken down by leave category: annual leave, carers leave, leave with pay or TOIL, long service leave, leave without pay, parental or maternity leave, personal leave, and other. Daily counts vary considerably, with annual leave ranging from 67 to 169 entries and personal leave from 22 to 117. Several figures repeat identically across consecutive days (27 and 28 June, and 4 to 6 July), which may reflect carried-forward or placeholder data rather than distinct daily records. The document contains no contextual commentary, policy material or governance findings.
