Social Worker lodged Subclass 491 on
17
Oct
2025
Based on the lodgement pattern of pending visas in the SmartVisaGuide database,
91% of Subclass 491
visa applicants waiting for a visa as of today have a visa application date earlier than you.
However, your grant will be significantly expedited
due to
Social Worker being a priority occupation as per Ministerial Direction 105. This is being reflected in
your
Expected Visa Grant dates section above.
