Trends and Patterns in S56 Requests
Priority occupations (Health) continue to demonstrate expedited processing. Both Registered Nurse and Social Worker grants were processed within approximately 1.5 months of lodgement, consistent with Ministerial Direction 105 prioritisation.
Non-priority occupations show varied processing times. The Architectural Draftsperson (QLD 190) was processed in approximately 4 months, while the University Lecturer (WA 190) was processed in approximately 4.5 months. Both received direct grants without S56 requests.
One offshore 190 applicant who lodged in May 2025 received an S56 request for medicals and CPM after approximately 14 months, indicating extended processing for offshore non-priority cases.
Subsequent entrant grants for 491 visas were also observed today.
