[Keith_APP]

出身 refers to an origin where one is born, raised or educated. The origin can be a place, an institution, a social class, etc. I am from Australia / I come from Australia probably can deliver the same meaning.

オーストラリア 出身 (come from) です

Literally the first sentence I didn't have to lie to get right...

You're telling me your dog doesn't sell hats as well?

[Tai40777]

I'm confused. In this same lesson, there was a question that had どの国のしゅっしんですか in it, where the object and しゅっしん were connected with の. Is that not always necessary?

[Keith_APP]

As I understand, when 2 nouns go frequently together, they become close to a compound noun and の becomes unnecessary. However in どの国のしゅっしん, どの国 is not a defined term and I think because of this it cannot have a compound noun property. の is therefore still needed.

Answer should / can also mean, I was born in Australia.

[JoshuaLore9]

It is usually implied, but not always the case. For example, I wasn't born in Australia, but I moved there with my family when I was 5. I consider myself Australian, and I would say I'm オーストラリア出身, but I'm actually クック諸島産まれ (kukku shotou umare = "born in the Cook Islands")

[EquanimousLingo]

Oh, agreed. That is why I mentioned it as an ancillary meaning. When living in Japan, I often said、” 私はドミニカ共和国うまれですがアメリカ出身です。"
