Trends and Patterns in S56 Requests
Priority occupations (Health and Teaching) continue to demonstrate expedited processing times. The Enrolled Nurse case from WA received a grant within one month of lodgement (24 March to 21 April 2026), despite an S56 request for an additional AFP check.
Non-priority occupations show more varied processing times. The Chemical Engineer (189) and Carpenter (189) cases processed in approximately 5-6 months. Software Engineer and Analyst Programmer cases under VIC 190 took considerably longer, ranging from 14-15 months, though both were direct grants or required only PCC submissions.
S56 requests observed today primarily involved police clearance certificates (Indian PCC, AFP with updated name) and partner-related documentation (Canada visa refusal information, Form 815). The AFP request for the WA Enrolled Nurse case was specifically for a marriage name update not reflected on the passport, highlighting the importance of ensuring all documentation reflects current legal names.
