Notable examples include: - Motor Mechanic (491 SA): 17 months with two S56 requests - Fruit and Nut Grower (491 NSW): 34 months with three S56 requests - Welfare Worker (190 WA): 16 months with one S56 request
S56 Request Patterns: Common S56 requests include: - Medical examinations and remedicals - Police clearance certificates (AFP and overseas PCC) - Employment verification and additional evidence - Tax records and ATO debt clearance - Polio vaccination evidence
State-Specific Observations: - TAS 190 grants for Enrolled Nurses showed consistent processing (approximately 4-5 months) - NSW continues to process both 190 and 491 applications across various occupations - WA processed applications for WASMOL Schedule 2 occupations - SA processed a Motor Mechanic application after an extended period
Direct Grants: One direct grant was reported (Agricultural Engineer, 491 TAS), indicating no S56 requests were issued during processing.
