Trends and Patterns in S56 Requests

The day saw significant S56 activity, particularly for remedicals and Form 815 health undertakings. Multiple offshore applicants from Pakistan and India who lodged in December 2023 received Form 815 requests for dependents, following earlier remedical requests in October 2025. This suggests a pattern of health-related follow-ups for applications approaching the two-year processing mark.

For priority occupations (Registered Nurse), visa processing was notably faster at 5 months compared to non-priority occupations. The longest processing times were observed for applications lodged in mid-2023, with most taking 2+ years to finalise. Direct grants without S56 requests remain rare, with only one Carpenter case reported.

Common S56 requests included remedicals, employment evidence, AFP checks, and PCC. Several cases involved multiple S56 rounds, particularly for medical clearances and police checks. Family size appears to correlate with additional S56 complexity, especially for health undertakings.

Trends and Patterns in S56 Requests

The S56 requests on 06 November 2025 primarily involved medical examinations for offshore 491 applicants who lodged their visas between November 2023 and April 2024. One applicant received a request for Health Undertaking Form 815 in addition to remedicals. This pattern suggests DHA is actively processing offshore 491 applications from mid-2023 to early 2024.

For visa grants, S56 requests predominantly involved remedicals and PCC updates, particularly for applications lodged in 2023. Priority occupation applicants (Primary School Teacher, Hospital Pharmacist) received grants within 6-8 months despite multiple S56 requests, while non-priority occupations experienced processing times ranging from 11 months to over 2 years. The longest processing time observed was for a 491 NT External Auditor (lodged October 2023, granted November 2025).

NSW conducted a substantial 190 invitation round covering 23 occupations, all for onshore applicants with points ranging from 75 to 110 (inclusive of state nomination). Tasmania issued preinvites for both 190 and 491 pathways, targeting graduates and established residents.

491 OFFSHORE (NP) - 21 Mar 2024 05 Nov 2025 Medical (All Applicants)

Trends and Patterns in S56 Requests

The day saw a cluster of S56 requests for subclass 491 applications lodged between March and April 2024. Medical requests dominated the S56 activity, with all five reported cases requiring medical examinations. Additional documentation requests included AFP checks, bank statements, tax documents, and police clearance certificates. The pattern suggests DHA is actively processing 491 applications from the March-April 2024 cohort, with medical clearances being a key checkpoint before finalisation.

Visa Processing Observations

Subclass 189: Two direct grants were reported for Civil Engineering occupations (Civil Engineer and Civil Engineering Draftsperson), both lodged in December 2024 and granted in November 2025. Processing time was approximately 10-11 months. Both applicants were onshore with 75-90 points.

Subclass 190 NSW: Two grants were reported for offshore applicants in Civil Engineer and QA Manager occupations. Processing times ranged from 15-16 months (May-July 2024 lodgements to November 2025 grants). Both cases received S56 requests for medicals in late October 2025, shortly before grant.

Activity levels were notably quiet for the day, with community members commenting on the low volume of grants. One observation noted that DHA may need to accelerate processing in the January-April 2026 window to meet planning levels.

How many days from S56 to grant? It depends on a multitude of factors, but generally its takes from 1 to 12 weeks for most (not all) applicants to get grant after s56 request is fulfilled. The best way to answer this would be to look at the latest s56 to grant timelines for your subclass. We have provided the data here.

Trends and Patterns in S56 Requests

The day saw significant S56 activity for subclass 491 visas, particularly for offshore applicants who lodged in late February to early March 2024. For s56 requests, medical examinations being the most common requirement. Several requests also included Police Clearance Certificates (PCC), with Pakistan-based applicants receiving additional requests for Polio certificates and supporting documentation.

For subclass 190 visas, S56 requests were issued earlier in the processing timeline (July and October 2025), primarily for medicals, AFP checks, and country-specific PCCs. The pattern suggests that 190 visas lodged in mid-2023 are now reaching grant stage after addressing S56 requirements.

One applicant noted receiving a direct grant despite an expired Polio certificate, though this appears to be an exception rather than the norm.

Invitation Activity

Architectural Draftsperson 190 NSW 90+5 ONSHORE Preinvite 21 Oct, Full Invite 31 Oct 2025

Trends and Patterns

Priority Occupations: Health and teaching occupations continue to demonstrate expedited processing. The Enrolled Nurse (ACT 491) received a grant in approximately 7.5 months.

Non-Priority Occupations: Engineering and ICT occupations lodged in mid-to-late 2023 are receiving grants, with processing times ranging from 15-28 months. The longest processing time observed was 28 months for several 491 applications lodged in June-July 2023.

S56 Request Patterns: Remedicals remain the most common S56 request, particularly for applications lodged in 2023-2024. Multiple applicants reported remedical requests in August-October 2025. PCC requests are also frequent, with some applicants receiving multiple PCC requests (e.g., VIC 190 Software Engineer received two PCC requests in April and May 2025). Employment verification requests are less common but detailed, as seen in the Agricultural Consultant case requiring letterheads, ITRs, photos, contracts, and NPS statements.

Direct Grants: Two direct grants were reported (189 Construction Project Manager and 491 VIC Program Project Administrator), though both applicants proactively uploaded documents including AFP and PCC.

Family Applications: Several grants involved families of 3-4 members, with some requiring additional medicals for newborns or pregnancy-related documentation.

Invitation Activity

No invitation round data was reported for 30 October 2025.

Trends and Patterns in S56 Requests

S56 requests observed on 30 October 2025 primarily involved remedicals and police clearance certificates, particularly for applications lodged in mid-2023. Several 491 NSW applicants who lodged in June 2023 received S56 requests in early August 2025 for remedicals and/or PCC, with grants following approximately 2-3 months later. This pattern suggests that applications approaching the 2-year mark are being actively processed with updated documentation requirements.

For priority occupations, processing times remain significantly shorter. The Registered Nurses nec application (NSW 190) was granted in approximately 6 months despite multiple S56 requests. Non-priority occupations showed considerably longer processing times, with several 491 applications lodged in June 2023 taking over 27 months to grant.

Recent S56 requests included evidence of separation (TAS 190), child medicals (VIC 190), and spouse English proficiency documentation. The VIC 190 Software Developer case demonstrated rapid processing post-S56 compliance, with visa approval occurring within 6 hours of medical completion.

190 NSW ONSHORE CPM 70 Preinvite: 21 Oct 2025, Full Invite: 29 Oct 2025

Trends and Patterns in S56 Requests

The day saw a mix of S56 activity across different visa subclasses. For Subclass 491, multiple S56 requests were observed, particularly for offshore applicants. One NSW CPM applicant received three separate S56 requests over a five-month period (May to September 2025), covering PCC attestation, remedicals, Form 80, and polio certificates. A QLD Software Engineer received a single S56 for health testing in mid-October, with results submitted within two weeks.

For Subclass 190, one offshore applicant reported an S56 request for child medicals. Notably, two TAS grants were issued without S56 requests, though one applicant proactively submitted AFP and overseas police clearances. The absence of S56 requests in some cases may indicate either no requests were made or applicants chose not to share this information.

News and Updates

WA State Nomination Program FY2025-26: Western Australia has officially opened its State Nomination Program for the 2025-26 financial year. This announcement provides opportunities for skilled migrants seeking state nomination for Subclass 190 and 491 visas.

Trends and Patterns in S56 Requests

The majority of S56 requests on 28 October 2025 involved medical-related documentation. Remedicals were the most common request, particularly for applications lodged in early 2024, indicating expiry of initial medical examinations after 12 months. Several cases involved documentation for family composition changes, including newborns and children reaching age milestones requiring additional medical assessments. Police clearance certificates (PCC and AFP) were also requested, particularly for applications lodged in September 2024. Some applicants proactively updated their AFP and PCC documents, which appeared to facilitate direct grants without S56 requests. The pattern suggests that applications approaching or exceeding 12 months from lodgement are likely to receive remedical requests.

Trends and Patterns in S56 Requests

The day saw multiple S56 requests for remedicals, particularly for 491 NSW applications lodged in February 2024. These requests were issued on 16 October 2025, with medical clearances obtained between 23-27 October 2025, followed by swift visa grants on 27 October 2025. This pattern suggests efficient processing once remedicals are cleared.

For 190 applications, S56 requests varied in nature, including medicals, PCC, and polio vaccination requirements. The QLD 190 Mechanical Engineer case showed a notably long processing time of over 2 years, with an S56 issued in August 2025 for multiple documents.

Several grants were issued without any S56 requests, particularly for TAS 190 onshore applications and the 189 ECT offshore case, indicating direct grants for these applicants.

News and Updates

Multiple 191 visa grants were observed on 27 October 2025, indicating processing activity for this permanent residence pathway for regional visa holders.
