S56 Trends
| Subclass State | Location Occupation | Lodge Date | S56 Date Detail |
|---|---|---|---|
| 190 | Offshore UNKNOWN | 08 Dec 2023 | 11 Dec 2025 PCC Translation |
| 491 | Offshore UNKNOWN | 13 Jul 2023 | 11 Dec 2025 PCC (2nd PCC; 1st s56: Medical, Employment Evidence) |
Trends and Patterns in S56 Requests
Remedicals Dominate: The majority of S56 requests issued were for remedicals, particularly for applications lodged between July 2023 and January 2024. This suggests a systematic review of medical clearances for applications approaching the 12-month validity period.
Form 815 Follow-ups: Multiple applicants received a second S56 requesting Form 815 (Health Undertaking) approximately one month after remedical requests. This pattern was particularly evident in SA491 applications.
Employment Evidence: Several offshore applicants received S56 requests for employment evidence, including superannuation records, tax records, and work emails. This was more common for 190 VIC and 491 NSW applications.
PCC Requests: Police Clearance Certificate requests appeared as both initial and follow-up S56s, with some applicants asked to provide PCCs for countries visited or translations of existing PCCs.
Multiple S56s Common: A significant number of applicants received two S56 requests during their processing journey, typically separated by 1-2 months.
