Hey guys, only just came across this thread.
My onshore 189 grant came through on Friday (7th June) after a really quick processing time. Visa was approved within a day of CO finally receiving medical paperwork from Medibank. My timeline/details-
Occupation Psychologist. EOI submitted 7/4/2013, invitation to apply 21/04/2013.
189 ONSHORE visa application 25/4/2013, allocated CO 16/5/2013, visa granted 7/6/2013.
IELTS General Listening 8.5, writing 8.5, reading 9, speaking 9, overall 9. Points 70.
I did it all myself without a migration officer, saved myself a fortune this way and once I got my head around it it was all very straightforward. Good luck to everyone else.
