Visa processing times - Quarterly report

Home Affairs releases quarterly reports that track how long it takes to process Migration and Temporary visa applications. These reports show visa trends and how many applications were decided in each quarter, compared to the previous quarter and the last 12 months.

The reports cover both Migration visas (like skilled migration and family visas) and Temporary visas (like work and student visas). By publishing these quarterly updates, Home Affairs provides transparency about processing times so applicants can better understand what to expect.

Applicants can access these reports to see current processing timeframes for their visa type. Reports are available for the current financial year (2024-25) and previous years (2023-24, 2022-23). Each report provides context about application volumes and processing speeds during that quarter.

If you've lodged a visa application, you can check the relevant quarterly report to see how your visa type is currently tracking. Processing times may vary depending on your individual circumstances and the completeness of your application.
