Applicant Profile Information: how it works in Australia — first-hand
Short answer
In the place of birth field, specify your exact town or locality regardless of passport details. For employment, provide a public corporate email if possible, disclose all military or armed service including MVD or Rosgvardia, and include your driver’s license as additional identification.
From real experience
When completing the 'place of birth' field in the Australian visa application, enter the specific town or locality in the primary field, even if your passport only details the region or country.
This provides clearer information to the processing officers.

When providing employment information for an Australian visa application, if an email address is requested but you prefer not to provide a personal or company email, consider providing a general corporate email address that is publicly available on the company's website.
While a phone number is often sufficient, having an email listed can be beneficial. If an email field is optional or marked with a question mark, providing one is generally recommended to avoid potential issues, although it might not be strictly critical if other contact details are sufficient.

When completing the Australian visa application, if asked about other identity documents, it is recommended to answer 'yes' if you possess documents like a driver's license.
Provide a scan of your driver's license as it can serve as additional identification. While not a primary ID, it can be presented as evidence of assets in your home country. Ensure all provided information is accurate and supported by documentation.

When filling out Australian visa application forms, if there are questions regarding military or armed service, it is important to answer accurately.
Service in organizations like the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MVD) or Rosgvardia, if considered military or armed service in your country of origin, should be disclosed. If the question pertains to 'military or armed service,' and you have such a background, the answer should be 'yes'.
