Trends and Patterns in S56 Requests
Two S56 requests were reported today. The NT 491 case received multiple S56 requests including remedicals and Form 80, with a physical verification conducted in June 2026. The NSW 190 case received a remedical request approximately 14 months after initial medical completion. Both cases proceeded to grant shortly after responding to S56 requests.
Priority occupation grants (Registered Nurses) showed faster processing times ranging from 1.5 to 2.5 months, with one case receiving a direct grant. The non-priority Construction Project Manager case took approximately 14.5 months, while the Mixed Crop Farmer case took over 3 years from lodgement to grant.
