Hi guys, I got my 1st S56 last Thursday, which only requested my daughter's TB screening as she has turned 2yo. No other materials were required. I've completed the test, and yesterday the status of the health assessment was updated to " Health clearance provided – no action required". But the visa processing status is still "initial assessment". Do I need to click "I confirm I have provided information as requested" under the Attach documents?

Trends and Patterns in S56 Requests
Priority occupations (Health and Teaching) continue to demonstrate expedited processing times. The Enrolled Nurse case from WA received a grant within one month of lodgement (24 March to 21 April 2026), despite an S56 request for an additional AFP check.
Non-priority occupations show more varied processing times. The Chemical Engineer (189) and Carpenter (189) cases processed in approximately 5-6 months. Software Engineer and Analyst Programmer cases under VIC 190 took considerably longer, ranging from 14-15 months, though both were direct grants or required only PCC submissions.
S56 requests observed today primarily involved police clearance certificates (Indian PCC, AFP with updated name) and partner-related documentation (Canada visa refusal information, Form 815). The AFP request for the WA Enrolled Nurse case was specifically for a marriage name update not reflected on the passport, highlighting the importance of ensuring all documentation reflects current legal names.
