Trends and Patterns in S56 Requests
Priority occupations (Health) continue to receive expedited processing. The Registered Nurse grant from TAS processed in approximately 1 month and 10 days, with only a TB screening S56 request. Non-priority occupations show significantly longer processing times, ranging from 3 to 16 months. The most common S56 requests include medicals, remedicals, AFP checks, and PCC requirements. Two new S56 requests were issued today for medical-related documentation and comprehensive checks including polio vaccination evidence. One applicant reported receiving an assessment commencement email for a 491 visa lodged on 02 October 2024, indicating ongoing processing activity.
