An extraction of your obligation from border.gov.au pertaining to visa 190:
"If you are granted this visa, your nominating state or territory might require you to:
live in the nominating state or territory for a specified minimum time
tell them your address, both before and after you arrive in Australia
complete surveys and providing other information they ask for
meet any of their other requirements."
Not sure if you need to contribute to SA but usually the obligation is to stay in the sponsor state for 2 years and/or work there for a year. But since DIBP issues the visa and no restrictions mentioned in the grant letter so many ppl don't honor this.
Ethically you need to stay at the respective state which sponsored you for at least 2 years but i heard many ppl dont. But I am not sure what the reciprocation would be during RRV
I see, i think this is what my agent tried to explain to me too when i asked.
Anyway thanks.
Apart from that, when I receive the letter, there is a Visa condition column stated "Nil"
so i am guessing there isn't any obligation for me to do so. Anyhow, i think i will try to find myself an opportunity in SA if I can, so that I can do back the favor since they sponsored me. But most of my friends are in Melbourne

Tempting to just stay in Melbourne instead.
