Trends and Patterns in S56 Requests
The day saw multiple S56 requests for remedicals, particularly for 491 NSW applications lodged in February 2024. These requests were issued on 16 October 2025, with medical clearances obtained between 23-27 October 2025, followed by swift visa grants on 27 October 2025. This pattern suggests efficient processing once remedicals are cleared.
For 190 applications, S56 requests varied in nature, including medicals, PCC, and polio vaccination requirements. The QLD 190 Mechanical Engineer case showed a notably long processing time of over 2 years, with an S56 issued in August 2025 for multiple documents.
Several grants were issued without any S56 requests, particularly for TAS 190 onshore applications and the 189 ECT offshore case, indicating direct grants for these applicants.
