FOI for May is now pending, and we’re still awaiting updates for February and March. It’s a bit sad to see the delay continuing across months.

Let's hope to receive the docs shortly.

Hi guys!

Any chance that WA will invite Mechanical Engineers this FY as we are already in May and there has not been any non-priority occupation invitation yet?

Hey, @gregormendel hope you’re doing well. Its kinda very frustrating when you come closer to your timeline and suddenly you see the changes in the overall timeline for priority occupation. Earlier it was 10 months. When I completed my 10 months waiting period then it goes up to 11 months now my waiting time is 10 months and few days up now it surges to 12 months and one month. I have no idea what is happening with me. I don’t think i will get my grant my Immi account status still showing received. My AHPRA reg is also expired i had to renew it again. I am just spending money not getting anything back. People who i know they all got their grants. Do you have any clue why this is happening?

Will there be one more round for Vic in May?

or was this last for this FY?

Vic 1 May 2026 round

please update your invites in the comments below

best of luck everyone

Visa Grants

S56 Trends

Invitation Activity

Trends and Patterns

Visa Processing Times: Priority occupations (Health and Teaching) continue to show varied processing times. The Medical Laboratory Technician case processed in 11 months despite multiple S56 requests, while the Registered Nurse Critical Care case completed in approximately 5.5 months. Non-priority occupations show significant variation: Telecommunications Network Engineer (5M 13D), Civil Engineering Technician (10M 20D), and notably extended timelines for NT491 Graphic Designer (2Y 10M) and QLD190 Civil Engineer (1Y 2M 4D).

S56 Request Patterns: Medical-related S56 requests remain common, particularly remedicals and specific tests (Hepatitis B, C, TB). Health undertakings were requested for ACT190 applicants. AFP/PCC requests continue for both onshore and offshore applicants. Multiple S56 requests within a single application are not uncommon, as evidenced by the ACT190 Medical Laboratory Technician case receiving two separate S56s.

State Activity: NSW190 Pathway 2 Round occurred today. NT491 Priority Stream Offshore invitations were reported. WA190 Graduate Stream continues processing with relatively faster timelines (3M 19D for Civil Engineer). ACT190 shows extended processing with multiple S56 requests for health-related occupations.

News and Updates

NSW 491 Pathway 2 Round is happening today. NT Priority Stream Offshore 491 invites were observed today (to be confirmed).

Invitation Activity

Trends and Patterns

Visa Processing Times: Processing times varied significantly across subclasses and states. The longest processing time was 2 years 10 months for a 190 WA ICT Project Manager (lodged June 2023). Priority occupations like Early Childhood Teachers and Social Workers showed faster processing, with grants issued within 3-5 months. Non-priority occupations experienced longer waits, ranging from 4 months to over 2 years.

Several applicants received S56s in March 2026, with grants following in April after document submission.

State Activity: Victoria (VIC) and New South Wales (NSW) dominated grant activity, with multiple grants across various occupations. South Australia (SA), Northern Territory (NT), Western Australia (WA), Tasmania (TAS), Queensland (QLD), and ACT also issued grants. One 189 grant was reported for an onshore Social Worker with 80 points.

Occupation Trends: ICT occupations (Business Analyst, Project Manager, Computer Network Engineer, Sales Representative) featured prominently. Trades (Chef, Electrician, Motor Mechanic, Welder) and priority occupations (Early Childhood Teacher, Social Worker, Occupational Health and Safety Adviser) also received grants.

Trends and Patterns in S56 Requests

The S56 requests observed today primarily involved routine documentation updates. Common requests included expired medicals for family members, AFP checks, and renewed Police Clearance Certificates. The NT491 case received multiple RFI requests (18 Feb and 24 Mar 2026) before grant. Most S56 requests were resolved within 2-4 weeks, with grants following shortly after compliance. Priority occupations (Registered Nurse, Social Worker, Health Promotion Officer) continued to show faster processing times, with some receiving direct grants without S56 requests. Non-priority occupations experienced longer processing times, particularly those lodged in late 2024 and early 2025.

S56 Trends

Trends and Patterns in S56 Requests

Priority Occupations: The two priority occupation grants (Psychologist and Social Worker) received direct grants with processing times of approximately 5 months. The Secondary School Teacher (also priority) received a direct grant in the same timeframe.

Non-Priority Occupations: Non-priority occupations showed varied processing times. Subclass 189 applications lodged in mid-November 2025 received direct grants after approximately 5 months. State-nominated applications (190) lodged in late December 2024 took approximately 16 months, with S56 requests for remedicals and health undertakings.

S56 Request Patterns: S56 requests primarily involved remedicals for partners and health undertakings (Form 815). One case required a UK PCC. The timing of S56 requests varied from 3 months to over 1 year after lodgement. Applications with S56 requests experienced longer processing times, particularly for state-nominated visas.

Direct Grants: All Subclass 189 applications from the November 2025 invitation round received direct grants without S56 requests, regardless of occupation type or location (onshore/offshore).

S56 Trends

Invitation Activity

Trends and Patterns in S56 Requests

Priority occupations (Health and Teaching) continue to demonstrate expedited processing. The Registered Nurse grant from SA processed in under one month (29 March to 24 April 2026), and the Secondary School Teacher received a direct grant in approximately five months. Both cases align with Ministerial Direction 105 prioritisation.

Non-priority occupations show varied processing times. Software Engineer (VIC 190) took 15 months, while Civil Engineer (NSW 190) processed in 12 months. The ICT Security Specialist (WA 190) received a direct grant in approximately 2.5 months, demonstrating variability even within non-priority categories.

Police Clearance Certificates remain the most common S56 request, appearing in multiple cases (SA 190, VIC 190, QLD 190). The Chemical Engineer case (491 OFFSHORE) received four S56 requests over a 32-month processing period, highlighting the complexity some applications face.

Direct grants occurred in three cases (189 Teacher, 189 Statistician, WA 190 ICT Security Specialist), suggesting complete documentation at lodgement can expedite processing.

News and Updates

Tasmania approved a 491 nomination under the TSG pathway for an Accountant working as a Chef, following completion of Certificate IV in Kitchen Management. The nomination was approved within approximately three months of EOI submission.

No invitation round data was reported for this period.

Trends and Patterns in S56 Requests

Priority occupations (Teaching and Health) continue to demonstrate expedited processing. The Secondary School Teacher received a grant in approximately 2 months, while the Registered Nurse NEC and Early Childhood Teacher received grants in approximately 5 months. These processing times are significantly faster than non-priority occupations.

For non-priority occupations, visa processing times varied considerably. The Engineering Technologist (VIC 190) took approximately 15 months, while the Materials Engineer (NT 491) took approximately 16 months. The Computer Network and System Engineer (SA 491) received a direct grant in approximately 4 months, and the Chef (WA 491) took approximately 12 months.

S56 requests remain common across all visa subclasses. Medical requests and remedicals continue to be the most frequent S56 type, followed by requests for Form 80, police clearance certificates, and additional employment documentation. Multiple S56 requests (as seen with the Carpenter case receiving 3 separate requests) can extend processing times significantly. Health Undertaking Form 815 requests appear to be issued when medical conditions require ongoing monitoring or treatment commitments.

Direct grants without S56 requests were reported for two 491 cases (SA and WA), suggesting that complete and accurate documentation at lodgement can facilitate faster processing.

How to Get a Polio Certificate in Australia

Visit a Terry White Chemist (or similar vaccination pharmacy). Pay $80 for the vaccination. You will receive your Australian polio certificate within 5 minutes.

Waiting for wa 491 with 100 points as quantity surveyor, interstate. Eoi submitted on 28/01/26 when can I possibly hear about an pre invite? Haven't heard of april rounds yet! Can someone throw light?

Hi guys, I got my 1st S56 last Thursday, which only requested my daughter's TB screening as she has turned 2yo. No other materials were required. I've completed the test, and yesterday the status of the health assessment was updated to " Health clearance provided – no action required". But the visa processing status is still "initial assessment". Do I need to click "I confirm I have provided information as requested" under the Attach documents?

Invitation Activity

Trends and Patterns in S56 Requests

Priority occupations (Health and Teaching) continue to demonstrate expedited processing times. The Enrolled Nurse case from WA received a grant within one month of lodgement (24 March to 21 April 2026), despite an S56 request for an additional AFP check.

Non-priority occupations show more varied processing times. The Chemical Engineer (189) and Carpenter (189) cases processed in approximately 5-6 months. Software Engineer and Analyst Programmer cases under VIC 190 took considerably longer, ranging from 14-15 months, though both were direct grants or required only PCC submissions.

S56 requests observed today primarily involved police clearance certificates (Indian PCC, AFP with updated name) and partner-related documentation (Canada visa refusal information, Form 815). The AFP request for the WA Enrolled Nurse case was specifically for a marriage name update not reflected on the passport, highlighting the importance of ensuring all documentation reflects current legal names.

Trends and Patterns in S56 Requests

S56 requests observed on 20 April 2026 primarily involved health-related documentation (medicals, remedicals, polio certificates) and character documentation (AFP, PCC). The requests were issued between 1-4 months prior to visa grants. Applications lodged in late 2024 and early 2025 received S56 requests in early 2026, suggesting a processing pattern where additional documentation is requested approximately 12-15 months after lodgement for non-priority occupations.

Priority occupations such as Early Childhood Teacher demonstrated significantly faster processing times (12 months from lodgement to grant for Subclass 491 VIC), compared to non-priority occupations like ICT Business Analyst and Mechanical Engineer which took 14-15 months. The Solicitor grant under Subclass 189 was notably fast at approximately 5 months with a direct grant and no S56 requests.

Several grants were processed without S56 requests (straight/direct grants), particularly for Subclass 190 applications in SA, VIC, and the Subclass 189 Solicitor case, indicating streamlined processing for certain profiles.
