S56 Trends
| Subclass State | Location Occupation | Lodge Date | S56 Date Detail |
|---|---|---|---|
| 491 OFFSHORE | Electrical Engineer | 2 May 2024 | 24 Nov 2025 Remedicals (all); Spouse functional English (MOI letter) |
| 190 OFFSHORE | Retail Pharmacist | 14 Jun 2025 | 24 Nov 2025 Form 815 |
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.
