Citizenship Application Question 13 Status as a Dependent

Hi,
I'm currently preparing my citizenship application and had a question about whether I should include my status as a dependent (under 18).
I lived in Australia for about 6 years and the visa I received was a temporary resident visa as a dependent of a religious worker. Should this be included in my application?
I also have multiple temporary resident visas for Australia because they expired and were reissued. Would I have to include each individual visa?

Thanks for all your help!

Interested in this query as well as I held dependent visa when I was under 18 in a foreign country. Do I need to put details of my dependent visa status, date obtained and end date for question 13 on citizenship application?

Yes, you should.

Yes, you should.
OK, I certainly can. What I find odd is that this question asks about your visa statuses from birth (even the PR application only asked for visa statuses from age 18 onwards or last 10 years). Most of the other questions on citizenship application only ask information from last 4 or 5 years. It seems a bit onerous to list all visa statuses (including dependent visas) when you were raised as a third-culture-kid and lived in multiple countries.
