Hi everyone! I recently moved to Melbourne, VIC. Do I need to apply for an Australia Business Number (ABN) as an Amazon affiliate?
Thanks in advance. :)

If your country does not require an affiliate marketer to have a business name and tax id Amazon should not be either. You can use a name for your business and use your tax id as long as it is OK with Australia. At least that is how it works in the USA.
It's been a while since I've been associated with Amazon and now it seems like they are phasing out their affiliate program altogether. I can say that when I had an account there of was required to have a business country specific business number.
That being said I would recommend calling customer service and seeing what they say as well as looking at your contract which will probably be changed by the time you finish reading it. Just kidding about the contract, but they do indeed constantly seem to be changing the rules.

Hey Ruth,
You should log into your Amazon Associate account and then seek out the contact information for their affiliates to use. Asking their technical support staff will get you THE most accurate information rather than having any of us guess here on the WA platform, as we are NOT legal experts.
Hope you find this helpful.

I would advice discussing this with a professional and to also abide by local laws and policies going forward.
Or you may check with the programs terms and conditions.
