Trends and Patterns
Priority Occupation Processing: The two health occupation grants (Registered Nurse and General Practitioner) under Subclass 189 demonstrated expedited processing consistent with Ministerial Direction 105. Both applications were processed within approximately 2 weeks of lodgement, despite medical requests.
Non-Priority Processing: The two NSW Subclass 190 grants for non-priority occupations (Software Engineer and Construction Project Manager) showed significantly longer processing times of approximately 24 months from lodgement. Both cases received S56 requests in September 2025 for medicals and additional documentation, approximately 21 months after lodgement.
S56 Request Patterns: All reported grants involved some form of S56 request, predominantly for medical examinations. The non-priority occupations also received requests for employment evidence and police clearances alongside remedicals.
