Trends and Patterns in S56 Requests
The day saw a mix of S56 activity across different visa subclasses. For Subclass 491, multiple S56 requests were observed, particularly for offshore applicants. One NSW CPM applicant received three separate S56 requests over a five-month period (May to September 2025), covering PCC attestation, remedicals, Form 80, and polio certificates. A QLD Software Engineer received a single S56 for health testing in mid-October, with results submitted within two weeks.
For Subclass 190, one offshore applicant reported an S56 request for child medicals. Notably, two TAS grants were issued without S56 requests, though one applicant proactively submitted AFP and overseas police clearances. The absence of S56 requests in some cases may indicate either no requests were made or applicants chose not to share this information.
