Trends and Patterns in S56 Requests
S56 requests observed today primarily involved health-related documentation and Police Clearance Certificates. One case involved a health undertaking for a Telecommunications Network Engineer (189 offshore), while another required PCC submission for an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer (491 NT offshore). The health-related S56 was issued approximately 4 months after lodgement, while the PCC request came about 8 months post-lodgement.
NSW appears to have issued select 190 preinvites to onshore Medical Lab Technicians with 95 points. NT issued a declaration for a 491 offshore Mechanical Engineer application that was submitted in November 2025.
The visa processing times varied significantly across subclasses. The 189 offshore grant took approximately 5 months, while the 491 NT offshore grant took about 9 months. The 190 VIC onshore grant had the longest processing time at approximately 15 months.
