Ms Gallagher
: The answer to Mr Pratt's question is:As with all other departmental staff, government school teachers' leave for health related matters; caring responsibilities; and special reasons is recorded as personal leave. The department is therefore not able to identify specific medical conditions, including stress, as a reason for teachers taking personal leave.
The department does not have access to leave records for teachers in non-government schools.
The number of claims for a stress related illness from government school teachers and accepted by Comcare is:
2001 | 13 |
2002 | 14 |
2003(to date) | 10 |
The department does not have access to this information for teachers in non-government schools.
