Visa Grants

S56 Trends

Key Observations

Priority Occupation Processing: Health and Teaching occupations continue to demonstrate expedited processing under Ministerial Direction 105. Multiple Secondary School Teachers and Registered Nurses received grants within 1-2 months of lodgement (June to July 2026), with most being direct grants requiring no S56 requests.

Non-Priority Occupation Processing: Non-priority occupations show significantly longer processing times. Civil Engineer (WA 190) took 7 months, Urban Regional Planner (WA 190) took 14 months, and Chef applications ranged from 14-18 months from lodgement to grant.

S56 Request Patterns: S56 requests for non-priority occupations typically occurred between 4-7 months after lodgement. Common requests included medicals/remedicals, overseas police clearance certificates, and passport updates. Priority occupations largely avoided S56 requests, receiving direct grants.

State Performance: WA 190 applications featured prominently in today's grants across various occupations. Tasmania processed both 190 and 491 applications efficiently, with the TAS 190 Social Worker receiving a direct grant within 3 months.
