Timeline missing
My 489 Family Sponsored visa was approved on 2018 June and I stayed at Qld regional and worked full time job for about 8.5 months after visa was approved. But , because of my husband work commitments, the whole family have to move back to overseas for about 1.5 years and plan to come back to Australia after that. I would like to check whether the initial 8.5 months stay in regional QLD can be counted for the two years stay when we apply 887 visa. 2 years stay is regional has to be continuous or can combine all the time spent in regional while we hold 489?Please give some advice on our case. Thanks in advance.

I believe you can accumulate over 4 years, you don't need to stay continuously for 2 years to fulfil the criteria.
