Key Observations
Visa Processing Times: Processing times varied significantly, ranging from approximately 3 months to over 15 months. The NSW190 Developer Programmer application showed the longest processing time at 1 year 3 months, while several applications lodged in 2026 were processed within 3-5 months. Priority occupations such as Civil Engineer and healthcare roles (Registered Nurse, Enrolled Nurse) demonstrated relatively faster processing.
S56 Patterns: Common S56 requests included police clearance certificates (PCC), medicals/remedicals, Form 80, Form 815, AFP checks, and employment documentation. Several applicants received direct grants without S56 requests, particularly in ACT and Tasmania. S56 requests typically occurred 2-4 months after visa lodgement.
State Distribution: Grants were distributed across multiple states: NSW (3), Tasmania (2), VIC (1), WA (1), ACT (1), and 189 direct grants (2). Family sizes ranged from single applicants to families of 3.
