Trends and Patterns in S56 Requests
The S56 requests on 06 November 2025 primarily involved medical examinations for offshore 491 applicants who lodged their visas between November 2023 and April 2024. One applicant received a request for Health Undertaking Form 815 in addition to remedicals. This pattern suggests DHA is actively processing offshore 491 applications from mid-2023 to early 2024.
For visa grants, S56 requests predominantly involved remedicals and PCC updates, particularly for applications lodged in 2023. Priority occupation applicants (Primary School Teacher, Hospital Pharmacist) received grants within 6-8 months despite multiple S56 requests, while non-priority occupations experienced processing times ranging from 11 months to over 2 years. The longest processing time observed was for a 491 NT External Auditor (lodged October 2023, granted November 2025).
NSW conducted a substantial 190 invitation round covering 23 occupations, all for onshore applicants with points ranging from 75 to 110 (inclusive of state nomination). Tasmania issued preinvites for both 190 and 491 pathways, targeting graduates and established residents.
