Trends and Patterns in S56 Requests
The most common S56 requests on 05 December 2025 involved:
Remedicals: The majority of S56 requests were for remedical examinations, affecting applicants across all three visa subclasses (189, 190, 491) and multiple states (VIC, NSW, SA, NT, ACT, WA). This pattern suggests routine health assessment updates for applications lodged 12-24 months ago.
Police Clearance Certificates (PCC): Multiple applicants received requests for updated PCCs, particularly for offshore applicants from NSW, NT, and ACT. Some requests included specific requirements such as translation of Netherlands PCC.
Employment Evidence: Several applicants, particularly in ICT occupations (Software Engineer, ICT BA, ICT QA Engineer), received requests for additional employment documentation.
Partner/Spouse Documentation: A smaller subset of requests involved partner-related documentation, including English proficiency evidence, relationship proof, and Form 80.
Specialised Requests: One unique request involved a Polio Certificate for all family members (WA 491), and another involved a Health Undertaking (190 Offshore).
The S56 requests predominantly affected applications lodged between late 2023 and mid-2024, with most requests issued between September and November 2025. Priority occupation applicants (Retail Pharmacist) demonstrated faster processing times despite S56 requests.
