This FOI release from Comcare comprises a Section 17 document, a statistical extract rather than inspector reports or claims-management records. It sets out claims received by financial year from 2018/19 to 2025/26, rising from 1,689 in 2018/19 to a low of 1,241 in 2021/22 before reaching 1,992 in 2025/26 (12,885 in total). Accepted psychological injury claims grew from 151 to 460 over the same period (2,188 in total). A top-10 employer breakdown shows Services Australia (291 claims in 2025/26) and the Department of Defence (259) as the largest. Psychological claims accepted for the top employers are reported from 2022/23 onwards, with the Australian Federal Police (80 in 2025/26) and Defence (74) highest.
