Trends and Patterns in S56 Requests
Three S56 requests were reported today, all for medical examinations or remedicals. The SA Computer Network and Systems Engineer case received an S56 after 14 months of lodgement, while the ACT Primary Teacher case received two S56 requests - the first after approximately 4 months and the second after 5 months. The SA Urban and Regional Planner case received an S56 for medicals for both primary applicant and partner after 14 months.
Priority occupation (Primary Teacher) showed faster overall processing despite multiple S56 requests. Non-priority occupations experienced longer processing times, with the SA Computer Network and Systems Engineer case taking 15 months and the SA Urban and Regional Planner case taking 14 months from lodgement to grant.
Several direct grants were reported with no S56 requests, particularly for cases lodged in late April 2026, suggesting streamlined processing for complete applications. Processing times for these direct grants ranged from 3 months (91 days for QLD Civil Engineering Draftsperson and QLD Registered Nurse) to approximately 3 months for NSW Community Worker and WA Construction Project Manager.
The SA Urban and Regional Planner case included a change of circumstances (newborn addition) which may have contributed to the extended processing time and subsequent S56 request.

Will the new direction 119 affect the 482 streams. Now a new priority processing order is in place does that mean the skilled, core and labour 482s are no longer ordered in priority?
