An Australian tax invoice must state that it is a tax invoice, show the seller's identity and ABN, the date issued, a description of the items supplied including quantity, the GST amount (or a statement that the total includes GST), and the total. For sales of $1,000 or more it must also show the buyer's identity or ABN. Payment terms and bank details are not legally required but are what actually get you paid on time.

Registration is required once your turnover reaches the ATO threshold. If you are not registered you must not charge GST or issue a document labelled tax invoice with GST on it.
