The Australian Tax File Number is presumably more similar to the Social Security ID? Millions of Australians don't have a passport. You don't need one for much - it's perhaps the easiest way of verifying citizenship if you already have one but not the only way.

Closest might be a Medicare Card which gives you access to free/discounted public health that can be used as part of identification. Usually children are on their parents card. Drivers licence is also a primary identifier, and students can use their school student id.
