S56 Trends
No new S56 requests were reported on 12 November 2025. All S56 activity relates to historical requests associated with visa grants processed today.
Trends and Patterns
Visa Processing Times: The grants reported today show significant variation in processing times. For subclass 189, processing times ranged from approximately 3 months (Registered Nurse - priority occupation) to 11 months. For subclass 190, processing times ranged from 6 months to 24 months, with most cases lodged in late 2023 receiving grants today. Subclass 491 showed the longest processing times, ranging from 8 months to over 28 months, with most applications lodged in mid-2023.
S56 Request Patterns: The majority of S56 requests occurred between August and September 2025, primarily requesting remedicals and PCC. Several cases received multiple S56 requests, particularly for subclass 491 offshore applications. Common S56 requests included remedicals, PCC, employment evidence, relationship evidence, and document re-uploads. The timing suggests a batch processing approach, with most S56s issued approximately 2 months before grant.
State and Location Distribution: WA, NSW, and VIC dominated the grant activity today. Offshore applications were prevalent across all three subclasses. Engineering occupations (Civil Engineer, Structural Engineer, Mechanical Engineer) featured prominently in today's grants.
Direct Grants: Two subclass 189 applications received direct grants without CO contact, both for offshore applicants with relatively recent lodgement dates (December 2024 and August 2025).
