Trends and Patterns in S56 Requests
Priority occupations (Health) continue to receive expedited processing. The Registered Nurse grant from TAS processed in approximately 1 month and 10 days, with only a TB screening S56 request. Non-priority occupations show significantly longer processing times, ranging from 3 to 16 months. The most common S56 requests include medicals, remedicals, AFP checks, and PCC requirements. Two new S56 requests were issued today for medical-related documentation and comprehensive checks including polio vaccination evidence. One applicant reported receiving an assessment commencement email for a 491 visa lodged on 02 October 2024, indicating ongoing processing activity.
State Nomination Activity
TAS approved a Cafe and Restaurant Manager nomination on 02 March 2026, with the ROI applied on 11 December 2025. The case officer was allocated on 26 February 2026, with further documents requested on 27 February and uploaded on 28 February.
