Trends and Patterns

Non-Priority Occupations: Processing times for non-priority occupations remain significantly longer.

The 491 ACT Laboratory Technician application took over 2 years to process.
S56 Patterns: Remedical requests continue to be the most common S56 type, particularly for applications approaching or exceeding 12 months from initial medical examinations. One case involved remedicals for all 4 family members. PCC requests were also observed in longer-processing applications.
State Activity: Tasmania and South Australia showed notable activity today. Multiple TAS 190 Chef grants were issued for October 2024 lodgements. SA commenced their invitation round with preinvites issued.
Family Size: One Electrical Engineer case involved a family of 4, demonstrating that larger family applications are being processed alongside individual applications.
