Trends and Patterns in S56 Requests
The day saw a mix of S56 activity across different visa subclasses. For Subclass 491, multiple S56 requests were observed, particularly for offshore applicants. One NSW CPM applicant received three separate S56 requests over a five-month period (May to September 2025), covering PCC attestation, remedicals, Form 80, and polio certificates. A QLD Software Engineer received a single S56 for health testing in mid-October, with results submitted within two weeks.
For Subclass 190, one offshore applicant reported an S56 request for child medicals. Notably, two TAS grants were issued without S56 requests, though one applicant proactively submitted AFP and overseas police clearances. The absence of S56 requests in some cases may indicate either no requests were made or applicants chose not to share this information.

Hi guys, anyone to kind of give me a clue or any word of encouragement here: Lodged 491 in June 2023, s56 for PCC done Nov 2024, Re-medical S56 completed 8 Sept 2025. When can i expect grant? Must i be worried about renewing the PCC which is expiring on 22 Nov 2025? My anxiety level has gone through the ceiling, I thought by now i would be in Australia.
my friend, yes there r still applicants waiting from jun 2023, i hope its comes very soon.
Thanks for that biotechy, thought i'm all alone now. But i wonder what criteria are they using, have seen applications submitted 6-8 months after mine getting grants, some remedical s56s got grants within a few days.
Its all random as of now. They wake up in the morning and decide what to do. No logic at all. June/July 2023 files are pending and they are processing September 2024 files. By what logic on earth this supposed to happen.
Exactly, it is so depressing-no logic at all. I wish they knew what stress they subject applicants to
@cmm Better to do remedicals I suggest
@cheekysquirre14818 , I did re-medicals 7 weeks ago, the PCC is the one expiring on 22 Nov 2025, so i suppose you are saying i must do the PCC?
