@gregormendel Hi! Thanks for all the great updates. Quick question on the VIC 491 (Priority 1) timeline: Have you heard any chatter about why the March-May 2025 lodgements are taking 11+ months, while the newer ones are getting grants in 1-3 months?

Trying to figure out if our May 2025 application is just stuck behind a huge volume wall, or if the newer 'decision-ready' apps are skipping the line. Given this backlog, are you forecasting that the May cohort will clear before the end of this financial year, or should we be bracing for a push into July? Thanks for your help!

Hey @gregormendel - I'm a physio applied 2nd Jan 2026 with 85 points, still waiting - wondering if you had any idea on expected timeframes until grant?

Lodged: 2nd Jan (Onshore) Medical completed 16th March No other updates, no S56 or signs the file is being worked on currently.

Thanks!
