Visa Processing Times: Priority occupations (Physiotherapist, Registered Nurse Aged Care) continue to receive expedited processing with direct grants within 3 months of lodgement. Non-priority occupations show varied processing times, ranging from 3 months (189 grants lodged in August 2025) to nearly 2 years (491 SA Advertising Specialist lodged January 2024).

S56 Activity: Recent S56 requests focus on standard documentation including Form 1221, Form 80, PCC, and employment evidence. One case required Polio vaccination documentation. The WA Social Worker case received three S56 requests over a 2-month period before grant.

NSW Invitation Round: NSW conducted a 190/491 round on 25 November 2025, inviting across diverse occupations. Points ranged from 65 (Occupation Therapist) to 110 (ICT Project Manager). ICT and Engineering occupations dominated invitations with points between 95-110. Health occupations received invitations at lower points (65-90).

Direct Grants: Multiple 189 direct grants were issued for August 2025 lodgements, indicating efficient processing for complete applications with all documentation submitted upfront.

This report summarises visa grants, S56 requests, and invitation activity for 24 November 2025, based on crowdsourced data from the skilled migration community.

Visa Grants

S56 Trends

Trends and Patterns in S56 Requests

The S56 requests observed today show a mix of standard compliance checks. Two offshore applicants received S56 requests: one for Form 815 (health undertaking) for a Retail Pharmacist who lodged in June 2025, and another for remedicals and spouse functional English evidence for an Electrical Engineer who lodged in May 2024.

For granted visas, S56 requests varied significantly. Priority occupation applicants (Health professionals) received expedited processing with minimal S56 intervention - the Intensive Care Specialist only received a PCC request, while the Physiotherapist had no recorded S56. Non-priority occupations showed similar patterns, with the Carpenter receiving no S56, and the Painter receiving only an updated Polio vaccination request close to grant. The 491 University Lecturer case involved complex health-related S56 and S57 requests spanning multiple months, including remedicals and additional medical examinations for a dependent with health concerns.

News and Updates

Invitation Activity

Trends and Patterns in S56 Requests

The majority of S56 requests issued in September 2025 resulted in visa grants by 21 November 2025, indicating approximately 2 months processing time post-S56 compliance. Common S56 requests included:

Medical-Related: Remedicals were the most frequent request, appearing in cases lodged between November 2023 and December 2023. This suggests medicals expire after approximately 12 months, triggering remedical requests.

Documentation: PCC requests and employment evidence verification were also common. One case received an S57 (not S56) regarding estimated costs for dependent children.

Multiple S56s: Several applicants received multiple S56 requests. For example, one 190 applicant received S56s on both 22 October 2025 (PCC) and 21 November 2025 (Medical).

Processing Times: For subclass 189, direct grants occurred within approximately 10 months for Management Consultant and Surveyor occupations (both lodged 04 January 2025). For subclass 190 and 491, processing times ranged from approximately 11 months to 2 years, with most cases lodged in late 2023 receiving grants today.

📙 Daily Activity Report: 20 Nov 2025

This report summarises visa grants, S56 requests, and invitation activity for Australian skilled visas (subclasses 189, 190, and 491) based on crowdsourced data from the community.

Visa Grants

S56 Trends

Trends and Patterns in S56 Requests

The majority of S56 requests issued on 20 November 2025 involved remedicals and police clearances, consistent with typical visa processing requirements as initial documents approach expiry. Several cases involved health undertakings (Form 815), particularly for offshore Indian applicants, suggesting potential health-related concerns requiring additional documentation.

Multiple S56 requests were common, with some applicants receiving 2-3 separate requests throughout their processing journey. These typically involved initial medicals, followed by remedicals, and additional identity or health documentation for dependents.

Newborn additions triggered S56 requests for medical examinations, as expected when family composition changes post-lodgement. One case involved a partner who did not receive a remedical request in an earlier S56, requiring follow-up.

The 491 visa category showed higher S56 activity compared to 190 and 189, with most requests for offshore applicants from India and Pakistan. Processing times for cases with S56 requests ranged from 18-28 months, with the longest waits observed in 491 applications lodged in mid-2023.

Priority occupation grants (Veterinarian) showed faster processing with direct grants and no S56 requests, while non-priority occupations experienced longer timelines with multiple S56 interventions.

Trends and Patterns in S56 Requests

The most common S56 requests on 18 November 2025 involved remedicals (repeat medical examinations), followed by requests for updated Police Clearance Certificates (PCC) and employment evidence. Several applicants also received requests for Polio certificates and partner English evidence. The S56 requests were issued between September and November 2025, with most applicants responding within 2-4 weeks. Notably, several applicants who lodged their visas in late 2023 and early 2024 received S56 requests in the final stages before grant, suggesting these were routine compliance checks rather than concerns about eligibility.

For Subclass 189, direct grants without S56 requests were observed for Environmental Engineer, Quantity Surveyor, and Mechanical Engineer occupations, with visa processing times ranging from approximately 10-11 months from lodgement.

For Subclass 190, visa processing times varied significantly. Non-priority occupations (Software Engineers, Civil Engineers, Structural Engineers) lodged in late 2023 to early 2024 received grants after 18-23 months. Priority occupations like Cook (Tasmania) also experienced extended processing times of approximately 17 months.

For Subclass 491, processing times ranged from 5 months (WA Construction Project Manager) to over 27 months (ACT Program and Project Administrator), with most cases falling in the 9-10 month range for applications lodged in early 2024.

S56 Trends

Trends and Patterns in S56 Requests

The majority of S56 requests issued in September and October 2025 resulted in visa grants on 14 November 2025. Common S56 requests included:

1. Medical-related: Remedicals, health examinations, and polio vaccinations were the most frequent requests across all subclasses
2. Document verification: Police Clearance Certificates (PCC) and employment evidence were commonly requested
3. Administrative: Form 80 and passport updates were also requested in several cases

Non-priority occupations showed processing times ranging from 15 to 29 months, with most applications lodged in July-December 2023 receiving grants in November 2025.

The pattern suggests that applications lodged in mid-to-late 2023 are currently being processed, with S56 requests typically issued 1-2 months before grant decisions. Most S56 requests were issued in September 2025, indicating a processing wave for this cohort.

Family applications (ranging from 2-4 members) did not show significantly different processing times compared to single applicants, though the ACT 190 single applicant with 95 points experienced a longer processing time of 29 months despite having high points.

FY2025-26 Update on NT 190/491 State Nomination The NT Government is yet to receive its full nomination allocation for the 2025-26 program year from the Australian Government. The Australian Government released a second small interim allocation while State and Territory governments await the full allocation for this program year.

The NT Government now has a limited number of subclass 491 and subclass 190 nominations available for eligible onshore applicants with certain visa deadlines falling before 31 December 2026.

Until this interim allocation is exhausted, new nomination applications will be accepted for onshore applicants who meet the NT Graduate or NT Resident eligibility criteria and have one of the following visa deadlines falling before 31 December 2026: - those who have visas expiring before 31 December 2026 and are not eligible for a Temporary Graduate Visa; - those who are due to become ineligible for the GSM program due to turning 45 years of age before 31 December 2026; - those who have birthdays falling before 31 December 2026, resulting in their skilled migration points for subclass 491 falling below 65.

The NT Nomination application portal is intended to be opened by 24 November 2025 for new applications that meet the above. The 2025-26 program will remain closed for other applicants and will open once the full allocation is received from the Australian Government.

Additionally, a subclass 189 round took place today. See more here.

Trends and Patterns in S56 Requests

The most common S56 requests on 13 November 2025 were for remedicals, appearing in the majority of cases. This aligns with typical visa processing patterns where medical certificates expire during extended processing times. Several applicants received multiple S56 requests, with the second request often being for Form 815 (Health Undertaking) or additional documentation such as Form 80, Form 47A, and Form 1281.

Work evidence verification appeared in two cases: one for an Architectural Draftsperson requiring work samples to validate skill assessment claims, and another for a Motor Mechanic requiring employment evidence. These requests suggest increased scrutiny of claimed employment for skill assessment purposes.

Family applications showed varied processing times, with no clear pattern distinguishing them from single applicants. Partner additions mid-application (as seen in the WA Civil Engineer case) did not appear to cause significant delays when properly documented.
