The latest information on processing times and numbers of visas granted for permanent visa applications is available here - including stats for the Adelaide Skilled Processing Centre:

Probably of interest to quite a few ...

Best regards.

That is very helpful, Alan. So 46 weeks is the average for the visas lodged in Adelaide directly (that is for the people who are too lazy to read the whole link ).

Thanks.

One useful statistic is they have granted 406 visas in last 6 months transferred from overseas. If 1200 were transferred from London, that's still a fair few to do.

I feel slightly better now (If the figure had been 1199, I'd know it was just mine left!!!

Of course stats only to end December and they've been busy bunnies in January.

Any other observations?

Thanks Alan, not looking too bad for Adelaide applicants then.
They should use some of the people to process the outstanding London lot really. It seems a bit unfair!

My agent is in Perth itself, so how does that effect me?
Does it make any difference that my agent is based in oz. My agent is called Immigration Downunder. Has anyone else used them or heard of them?

Unfortunately these figures are somewhat misleading. Because nurses are making it through in 6/7 months this is lowering the average time of all visas. If you look at 13/14 months for a non-nurse you wont be far off.
