S56 Trends
No new S56 requests were reported for 15 July 2026.
Trends and Patterns in S56 Requests
The majority of S56 requests across all subclasses involved medical examinations or remedicals, particularly for applications lodged in early 2025. Several cases also required police clearance certificates (Indian PCC, AFP, NZ Criminal Record Check) and employment documentation (references, bank statements, employment history). One unique request involved ATO Debt Clearance Proof for a Subclass 189 Carpenter.
Visa Processing Times varied significantly: - Priority occupations (Health Promotion Officer) received grants in approximately 3.5 months - Non-priority occupations ranged from 7-8 months for Subclass 189 to 16-17 months for Subclass 190 and up to 21 months for Subclass 491
Tasmania dominated the 190 grants reported today, with multiple Chef, Accountant, and Engineering occupations receiving grants after 15-17 months processing time. Victoria also showed activity across Software Engineers and Health occupations. The single WA491 grant took the longest at nearly 21 months, with multiple S56 requests throughout the process.
