Confirmed by immi, our visa 475 (eligible relative sponsorship) can work/live in VIC anywhere.
Actually, the definition of Specified Regional Area depends on whether you are being sponsored by an eligible relative or nominated by a state or territory government.

You will have the opportunity to apply for permanent residency after you have lived for two years and worked at least 12 months in a Specified Regional Area of Australia.
475 visa is only valid for 3 yrs
after 3 years, you can apply for PR if you live in regional area
check here : where is regional area
http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/general-skilled-migration/regional-growth.htm
if you live in Melbourne, you could not apply PR
and you can not stay in Australia if 475 visa expired
but you dont want to apply PR
you can live at Melbourne as your agent said
and no problem
check carefully other than your agent
this is only my opinion base on the information
may be something wrong as the law always change
also dont trust me totally
get more opinion from other
Thank you all.
Confirmed by my agent, we can work in melb. When we move to Melb, my girl should study F1 and my boy should be P4 in HK. Which grade should they entry in aus? Many thanks!

We apply 475 skill mirgration with sponser, not 457! Do we need to pay medical and school fee?
As I know, all of the TR will not have Medicare except the applicant are applied to be PR! But every states have little bit different about education, so u may need to check by yourself! Here have some info about medication

i havent got it yet. My application has not been approved yet. My hubby applies 475 type.
If for 457 work visa as TR, you need to pay school fee around A$5,000 per year per child for public primary and high school in NSW state (other states are free like local students), and international student fee for uni. You also need to buy your own medical insurance, no Medicare benefit !
