1988 Tax File Number (TFN) introduced,
further research revealed that the TFN was upgraded in 1988, so obviously did start well before then.

I've been here since 1979 and always had the same Tax File Number (27 years).
They definitely were around before 1988.

Just phoned the tax office in Australia and they said that the TFN only started in the 1970s.My wife who worked in the 1960s in Australia was told they could not trace that far back and she would have to apply for a new TFN when she returned to Australia .Hope this imformation helps anybody in the future.
