Trends and Patterns in S56 Requests
S56 requests observed today primarily involved standard documentation requirements including Police Clearance Certificates (PCC), Form 80, and medical examinations. One case involved remedicals for a dependent child. The majority of grants reported were direct grants with no S56 requests, particularly for Civil Engineer applications across multiple states.
Priority occupation processing remains evident, with a TAS 190 Health Sector application receiving a direct grant in just 23 days. Non-priority occupations showed varied processing times ranging from approximately 1.5 months to over 13 months, with Civil Engineer applications dominating the grant activity across QLD, NSW, TAS, WA, and NT.
Several applicants proactively updated their Police Clearance Certificates and AFP checks before expiry, which may have contributed to direct grants without S56 requests.
