Will it be okay that on your first entry you would be staying on a different state with family before moving to the region you were assigned for while on 491 visa? How long can 491 visa holder do this?

There is no limitation on holiday trips, as long as you remain abiding on your visa conditions you will be fine.
I personally know one couple who stayed 1 month initially in Melbourne at their relatives before moving in SA on 491.

hi @Ozdrims , happy new year! question po related dito sa reply niyo. Ibig sabihin ba kapag meron ka na 491 visa, it will give you access sa ibang state ng AU for holiday purposes?

Yes certainly po, as the visa conditions ask you to live and work in the regional area of AU. It does not restrict from creating meaningful recreational activities on a temporary nature out of the regional.
As long as you remain abiding in your visa conditions ,it does not matter saan kayo mag holidays .
Same as mag vacation lang ng Pinas or other countries abroad ang POV. It does not change the fact that you still work and live sa regional 🥂🥳
Happy New Year !

Is there a Freedom of Information Access Request with the same condition for visa 190?

I believed No, as 190 is a PR, means it is the same as 189. The only difference is that 190 is sponsored by the state.
