Invitation Activity

No invitation round data was reported for 31 July 2026. All activity relates to visa grants from previous invitation rounds.

Trends and Patterns

Priority Occupation Processing: Health and teaching occupations continue to demonstrate expedited processing under Ministerial Direction 105. The Resident Medical Officer (190 NSW) and Early Childhood Teacher (190 WA) both received grants within approximately 2.5 months of lodgement. The Secondary School Teacher (189) received a direct grant within 1.5 months.

Non-Priority Occupation Processing: Non-priority occupations showed varied processing times. The Social Worker (189) received a direct grant in 1.5 months, while the Civil Engineer (190 VIC) processed in approximately 2.7 months. Community Worker (190 NSW) processed in approximately 2.8 months.

Direct Grants: Multiple applicants reported direct grants with no S56 requests, including cases where Form 80 was not uploaded. Several applicants had pre-existing medical examinations from previous visa applications (Subclass 485, 482) which were partially or fully reused.

State Distribution: NSW and 189 visas dominated today's grant activity, with two grants each. VIC and WA each reported one grant.

Points Range: Reported points ranged from 75 to 90 points, with 85 points being the most common across both 189 and 190 applications.
