S56 Trends

Subclass State Location Occupation Lodge Date S56 Date Detail
189 ONSHORE - 05 Dec 2025 27 Mar 2026 Form 80, PCC
190 OFFSHORE - 08 Jan 2025 27 Mar 2026 PCC

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.
