A 2025 poll shows sick day usage in Australia has collapsed, with 60% of employees taking just three of their ten annual days. This 21-point jump signals a widening gap between legal leave entitlements and reality, driven by remote work and mental exhaustion. HR leaders must now tackle presenteeism, mental health, and the ineffective Right to Disconnect.
