Yes, you'll definitely still get paid for the hours worked before getting your TFN. When you fill out the TFN declaration form (https://www.ato.gov.au/forms-and-instructions/tfn-declaration) for your new job, just say in question 1 (https://www.ato.gov.au/forms-and-instructions/tfn-declaration/how-to-complete-the-paper-form-payee)that you've applied for a TFN. This gives you 28 days before your employer has to take out tax at the highest rate. As soon as you get your TFN, give it to your employer.
