Hi po,
Ask ko lang po, sa mga 190 visa holders po, required po ba talaga na tumira po sa nominating state for 2 yrs po? May naka try na po ba sa inyo na ang first entry po ay sa ibang state agad, from overseas, tapos doon na po ibang state mag work at tumira? Salamat po!

Mahaba habang discussion itong question na ito and people are in 2 opposing sides--your moral obligation with the state that invited you or diskarte. Some say it's just okay yo transfer state(s) and walang naging prob.
Just sharing the invite note that I got from NSW, hence I lean towards the former side of this matter.

OCCUPATION : SOFTWARE ENGINEER (261313) ~~ DIY. Offshore. Direct Grant
Total Points ~~ NSW SC190: 90pts
Points Breakdown:
Age:25 | English:20 | Employment:15 | Education:15 | Single:10
Been to Australia a few times and I just wanted to settle there. "I belong here" ganon.

thanks po sa reply. nakakatakot po kasi mag risk baka mapahamak pa ung visa. nag try lang po ako magtanong, baka may nakagawa na neto dati, at walang naencounter na problema. ang limited lang po kasi ng options pag mag job hunting. anyways, salamat po ulit!

Although 190 visa does not have any conditions forbidding the visa holder from moving states, it is expected that you at least demonstrate you have tried your best to make it work in that state. I recently had a coffee catch up with the South Australia skills and business migration team. They shared a recent story where they had to cancel a nomination for someone because this guy flaunted it on Facebook how he dodged the system - got nominated by SA but he went to WA. So very very careful
