Australians...

Under city of birth, am I putting my actual city, or on my passport it has my "Place of Birth" and my suburb, which isn't a city... Any ideas?

TLDR : Answer Summary
Australians are unsure whether to list their actual city or the 'Place of Birth' as indicated on their passport when completing the 'city of birth' section on a visa application. Community feedback suggests matching the entry to what is on the passport or including both the place of birth and a known city name.
