Hi, my spouse has just awarded a contract as IT consultant starting in mid of Jan 2023. He just arrived in Australia in early Jan with valid working rights, ie. Permanent Resident. However, ABN is required in order to sign the contract. In order to obtain the ABN, the TFN is required. He applied the TFN online but he does not have a sufficient supporting document. In addition to proof of opening a bank account, he needs the driver license which is on the way, hopefully to be arrived in 2 weeks time. It is noted that he does not have additional supporting documents as given we are living with my parents' house, we don't have any utilities' bills.
Is there any workaround in order to obtain the TFN such as a letter of exemption? Worry that if the ABN does not process on time, the contract will be expired and he needs to find another contract.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
