Hi all,
Can someone make a FOI to ask for nb of PR grant onshore vs offshore since beginning of FY? I do not understand how there has not been even one offshore grant popping up while, the budget clearly allocates 55k spot to the offshore, going primarly to highly skilled applicants according to them.
@gregormendel, what is your opinion on the situation ?
Thank you

Trends and Patterns
Priority Occupation Processing: Health occupations (Registered Nurses, Medical Practitioners, Physiotherapists) continue to demonstrate expedited processing under Ministerial Direction 105. Multiple RN grants were processed in approximately 3 months, with some receiving straight grants without S56 requests. Medical Practitioner NEC received grant in just over 1 month.
Non-Priority Occupation Processing: The Civil Draftsperson application lodged in June 2025 took approximately 13 months to process, with two S56 requests (PCC and Medical). The Carpenter and Community Worker applications showed processing times of approximately 3-4 months.
S56 Request Patterns: Most grants today were straight grants with no S56 requests. Where S56s were issued, they primarily requested medicals and PCCs. One case required relationship proof documentation. The timing of S56 requests varied from immediately after lodgement to several months into processing.
State Distribution: Tasmania and WA featured prominently in today's grants, with Victoria and NSW also represented. Subclass 189 grants were distributed across multiple states, while 190 grants came from TAS, VIC, NSW, and WA.
