Trends and Patterns
Priority Occupations: Health and Teaching occupations continue to demonstrate expedited processing times. Registered Nurses (Critical Care, Aged Care, NEC) and Primary School Teachers lodged in March-June 2026 received grants within 1-4 months. This aligns with Ministerial Direction 105 prioritisation.
Non-Priority Occupations: Processing times for non-priority occupations varied significantly. Subclass 189 applications for Multimedia Specialist, Food Technologist, and Painter lodged in November 2025 took approximately 8 months to process. Non-priority 190 applications (Social Worker, Welder) lodged in March 2026 processed in approximately 4 months.
Points Distribution: Subclass 189 grants ranged from 80-95 points. The 85-point threshold appears common for health professionals, while 95 points were observed for Food Technologist and Multimedia Specialist. Subclass 190 grants were at 85 points for both Social Worker and Welder.
Direct Grants: Several applicants received direct grants without S56 requests, particularly in health occupations. The Food Technologist case explicitly noted a direct grant.
State Activity: NSW and QLD issued 190 grants for both priority and non-priority occupations. ACT granted a 190 visa for Primary School Teacher.
