Is it canon that Chase is from Melbourne,or just really popular fanon? Because every time people give him a home town,it's always Melbourne. Not Sydney,not Adelaide. Always Melbourne.

I don't think it's ever said outright, but contextually, yeah, he seems to be from there. Chase did some of his schooling in Melbourne (and some in Sydney…………and some in England, lol), which isn't all that definitive of course, but in Both Sides Now he specifically imagines him and Cameron and their very non-existent kids visiting Melbourne in the summers, and in that sort of thing you usually … pick your hometown for, lol. ("and we'll spend our summers going to random city x where I have never been and have no memories associated with…………")

But mostly, Jesse Spencer is IIRC from Melbourne, and according to at least one random Aussie on tumblr Chase has an "urban Melbourne" accent, so I think it's a case of "well, Chase needs to come from somewhere, why not the town he has the accent for?", both in canon and fanon.
