Experimental Feature

Social Worker lodged Subclass 189 on 13 Nov 2025
Based on the lodgement pattern of pending visas in the SmartVisaGuide database, 35% of Subclass 189 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.

Mine was slightly more complicated as I had to go through the courts for a specific issue order. I was also refused support from two of the top visa agents as they said my case was complicated and very unlikely... so did it all myself. For anyone else in this position, you have to take the gamble and do the court application and visa simultaneously. You won't get court approval without being in the visa process and you can't get your visa without courts approval. It's a gamble and it's costly but worth it! Total cost for visa - Β£6200 Total cost including court order - Β£20,400 S56 Notes 03/03/2026 – ACRO check submitted 04/03/2026 – ACRO check completed
