S56 Trends

No new S56 requests were observed on 01 December 2025.

Invitation Activity

South Australia issued preinvites on 01 December 2025, marking their first round of invitations. No specific occupation or points data was shared for this round.

Trends and Patterns

Priority Occupations: Health and teaching occupations continue to demonstrate expedited processing. University Lecturers and Registered Nurses (Critical Care) lodging in late August 2025 received grants within approximately 3 months.

Non-Priority Occupations: Processing times for non-priority occupations remain significantly longer. Grants observed today include applications lodged between September 2023 and October 2024, indicating processing times ranging from 13 to 26 months. 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.
