Trends and Patterns in S56 Requests
S56 requests observed today primarily involved medicals and remedicals for 491 visa applicants. One offshore applicant from Pakistan lodged in May 2024 received a medical request. A South Australian 491 case from June 2023 received remedicals in August 2025 before grant. A Queensland 491 applicant received requests for both AFP and medicals in November 2025.
Priority occupations (Health and Teaching) continue to demonstrate significantly faster processing times. Early Childhood Teachers and Registered Nurses received grants within 3-7 months of lodgement, with most being direct grants. Non-priority occupations showed more varied processing times, ranging from approximately 7 months to over 29 months for the SA Mechanical Engineer case.
Several applicants proactively uploaded AFP checks and PCCs, which may have contributed to direct grants without S56 requests. Tasmania appears particularly active in processing 190 visas for both priority and non-priority occupations.
