Am coming over shortly and wondering if this needs to be set up prior to getting a job. Will be in Melbourne.

you can look this up on the ATO (Australian tax Office) web site. Can't remember how to get one but I'm pretty sure you can apply on line.
Also you can work in Australia without one however after the first month you will start getting taxed at the highest rate. Basically you can get here and start working and you have a month to organise one

Apply for a Tax File Number (TFN) through the Australian Taxation Office (ATO)
A Tax File Number (TFN). Income includes wages or salary from a job, payments from the government, and money earned from investments including interest on savings accounts.
In Australia, you can telephone the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) and have a TFN application form sent to you. Alternatively, you can apply for a TFN over the internet.

Pretty much what the others have said.
Contact the Australian Tax Office and give them some details and they will give you a tax file number.
