This FOI release from the Fair Work Ombudsman, dated 17 June 2026, consists of a statistical table and a contravention category list for the Textile, Leather, Clothing and Footwear Manufacturing ANZSIC subdivision covering 2019 to 27 May 2026. The table records zero site investigations in every year and state, with 18 non-compliant cases identified in total, concentrated in Queensland, Victoria, New South Wales and Western Australia. It shows 10 compliance notices and 4 infringement notices as enforcement tools used, the largest counts in Victoria (2023 and 2024) and Queensland (2021). The list names 65 distinct contravention categories, including underpayment, overtime, sham arrangements, and JobKeeper provisions. The release omits the requested guidance, risk assessments and inspection criteria on labour exploitation or illegal subcontracting, and the document does not state whether any were withheld.
