📙 Daily Activity Report: 04 August 2026

S56 Trends

Trends and Patterns in S56 Requests

Priority occupations (Registered Nurses and General Practitioners) continue to receive expedited processing. Three Registered Nurse grants were processed in approximately 2 months, with only one receiving an S56 request for Form 80 and character documents. The General Practitioner case received no S56 requests and was granted in 2 months 19 days despite the application never moving to 'processing' status.

Non-priority occupations showed varied S56 patterns. The Electrician case received an S56 for partner's previous name documentation after 4 months 15 days. The Metal Fabricator received an HIV medical request just one day before grant. The Civil Engineer (491 NSW) received a police clearance request approximately 4 months after lodgement.

Notably, the Victorian General Practitioner applicant submitted Form 80 at lodgement to prevent potential S56 requests, which appears to have been effective. The applicant also noted that 189 and 190 processing times for General Practitioners were similar, with only 9 days difference between the two visa types.
