Trends and Patterns
Priority Occupations: Health and teaching occupations continue to receive expedited processing. The RN NEC case (lodged 28 Aug 2025) and ECT case (lodged 27 Aug 2025) both received grants within approximately 3 months, demonstrating the impact of Ministerial Direction 105.
Non-Priority Occupations: Processing times for non-priority occupations vary significantly. Recent lodgements (Oct-Nov 2024) for IT and engineering occupations are receiving grants within 12-14 months. However, older applications from 2023 are still being finalised, with processing times extending to 24-29 months for some 491 cases.
S56 Patterns: Remedical requests remain common for applications approaching or exceeding 12 months processing time. Multiple S56 requests are observed in longer-processing cases, particularly for offshore applicants. PCC and employment evidence requests continue to feature prominently.
Direct Grants: Several VIC 190 and NSW 190 cases received direct grants without S56 requests, particularly for onshore applicants in IT occupations with recent lodgements.
