The Department of Fire and Emergency Services works to adhere to its leave management policy, however, major operational incidents can impact staff leave balances. These incidents result in staff cancelling and rebooking planned leave, so they are immediately available to provide operational support.

 Another contributing factor for the increase in total dollar value as at 30 June 2020 and 31 December 2020 includes several staff cancelling and/or rebooking leave with travel restrictions in place.
