Visa Grants

S56 Trends

Trends and Patterns in S56 Requests

The majority of S56 requests issued in recent months relate to remedicals, with several cases also requiring PCC updates and employment evidence. Most grants processed on 24 October 2025 involved applications lodged between June 2023 and February 2024, indicating visa processing times ranging from approximately 15 months to over 2 years for subclass 491 visas. Priority occupations such as Enrolled Nurse (subclass 190 TAS) demonstrated significantly faster processing at under 3 months from lodgement to grant.

For non-priority occupations, particularly in Engineering and ICT fields, processing times remain extended. The pattern shows S56 requests typically issued 2-3 months before grant, predominantly for remedicals as initial medical examinations expire during the extended processing period. Several offshore 491 applicants from NSW and NT states experienced similar timelines with lodgements in June 2023 and grants in October 2025.

WA graduate stream eligibility confusion

I am graduating in upcoming weeks. My confusion is when I started my course it was not accredited but it got accredited after 6 months of my study was completed.

Also as per cricos course duration is 104 weeks but in actual course finished in 82 weeks. Now WA 2025-26 graduate stream criteria says 2 years academic study = 87 weeks course duration from start date to end date.

I am super confused how will they determine my graduate stream eligibility. Anybody else have gone through such situation? @gregormendel
