Howdy , There is a way where Services Australia can assist in obtaining a TFN for individuals who can't apply in the usual way. The participants mother can complete the TFN application and submit to Services Australia (https://guides.dss.gov.au/social-security-guide/8/1/3/20). They will then forward this to us. In certain circumstances, exemptions from providing a TFN can be granted. This can apply if it is unduly difficult or distressing for the individual to obtain a TFN. (https://guides.dss.gov.au/family-assistance-guide/4/1/1/20) Probably best to have the mother of your client contact Services Australia (https://www.servicesaustralia.gov.au/contact-us?context=64107).
