Hello - appended question wise answer: 1. does the main applicant have to work in the field of work the visa was granted for or any type of work? - Not required 2) does the 2nd applicant have to work in rural au as well? - Ideally you should be together whether working or not All it appears to ask for is for the main applicant to work for 12mths in designated area and only asks for the 2nd applicants id and proof of where they've lived for 2yrs? - anyone out of two applicants can work and become the primary applicant accordingly you can submit proof for primary applicants address, utility bills, salary slips etc. But its prudent to have some sort of proof for secondary applicant as well.

Hello - you are fine; as long as you are completing hours its good.
