The release by the Australian Public Service Commission, dated 21 October 2025, is a single document titled "Data and documents relating to medical examination directives, MLCOA and approved leave", though its content covers only the leave data request (LEX 1624 and LEX 1625). The applicant asked how many APSC employees over the past five years were granted leave exceeding an annual period, and the reasons for it. The APSC reported that between 1 January 2020 and 13 October 2025, 1,526 individual requests for miscellaneous leave, with or without pay, were approved. The document was created under section 17 of the FOI Act because the data was not readily available in discrete form. It does not disclose the reasons for leave, nor any material on medical examination directives or MLCOA as the title suggests.
