No, you don't need to be a registered company to get an ABN. Any business should have one (sole trader, partnership, trust, company, SMSF etc). Have a look on the ABR (Aust Business Register) website
www.abr.gov.au
You can apply for your ABN there, and it tells you all you need to know about it, when you need to apply, who needs to apply, when to register for GST and PAYG withholding etc. There will also be information on the Tax Office website www.ato.gov.au or you could speak to your accountant.
Good luck with it.
