Trends and Patterns in S56 Requests
Priority Occupations: The two priority occupation grants (Psychologist and Social Worker) received direct grants with processing times of approximately 5 months. The Secondary School Teacher (also priority) received a direct grant in the same timeframe.
Non-Priority Occupations: Non-priority occupations showed varied processing times. Subclass 189 applications lodged in mid-November 2025 received direct grants after approximately 5 months. State-nominated applications (190) lodged in late December 2024 took approximately 16 months, with S56 requests for remedicals and health undertakings.
S56 Request Patterns: S56 requests primarily involved remedicals for partners and health undertakings (Form 815). One case required a UK PCC. The timing of S56 requests varied from 3 months to over 1 year after lodgement. Applications with S56 requests experienced longer processing times, particularly for state-nominated visas.
Direct Grants: All Subclass 189 applications from the November 2025 invitation round received direct grants without S56 requests, regardless of occupation type or location (onshore/offshore).
