Unless you are residing in a location longer than 6 months you generally are just visiting there and not actually living there. Did you keep a "home" address in Pakistan that you went back to on each move? Was your mail sent to that address as well?

If so then I would put the Pakistan address down as where you lived as none of your other visits were 6 months or longer which is a requirement for the question on that form.

I spent 7.5 months in Australia on a tourist visa (I worked as a nanny) Would I put this address down or would this be considered 'travelling'. Also, would I need to get a police check for Australia. It says you only need them for places you have lived for more than 12 months but should I get one to be safe?
