Frequently Asked Questions

A stress leave certificate is a document issued by a healthcare provider to confirm that an individual requires time off work due to stress-related health concerns. This is usually requested when a person is exhausted due to work or dealing with life issues. According to Fair Work Australia, the classification of stress leave as paid sick leave or annual leave can vary depending on the severity of the stress experienced by the employee.
