Key Observations

Subclass 189 Processing: Two Registered Nurses (Perioperative) with 80 points received grants within 2 months of lodgement. Both were invited on 4 June 2026 and lodged late June 2026. No S56 requests were issued for either case.

Subclass 190 Processing: Processing times varied significantly. NSW and QLD grants ranged from 5 months to 15 months. The longest processing time was 15 months for a NSW University Lecturer (65 points) who received two rounds of S56 requests including remedicals. The shortest was approximately 5 months for a QLD Secondary School Teacher.

S56 Activity: Three S56 requests were issued on 25 August 2026, all for 190 ONSHORE applicants who lodged in May 2025. Requests included remedicals, AFP checks, military service documentation, and passport pages.
