Trends and Patterns in S56 Requests

Medical and remedical requests continue to be the most common S56 types, particularly for applications lodged in 2025. Form 80 requests and genuine work verification were also observed. Priority occupations (Construction Project Manager, Secondary School Teacher, University Lecturer, Carpenter) showed faster processing times ranging from 2-8 months, while non-priority occupations experienced longer processing times, with some extending beyond 12 months. Several applicants reported no S56 requests, particularly for recent 189 applications lodged in June 2026.
