The SuperStream system was introduced as a result of the Australian Federal Governments 'Stronger Super' reforms. The Stronger Super review was conducted between 2007 & 2013 and focused on the operation of Australia's superannuation scheme, it's structure and it's efficiency. SMSF funds are not issued a USI number, instead they use their ABN number as an identifier.

What is CARE Super's SPIN number? CAR0100AU.
SPIN number is short for Superannuation Product Identification number. A SPIN number identifies a super fund product, as opposed to the business entity, fund or trustee. It is used by government organsations and financial institutions to identify the super fund products that belong to a superfund.

You can use thier portal as an official record of superannuation funds and their SPIN codes. It is a free service (just like SuperNumber) and available to the public via their website.
It was the Super EC Council that first announced the initative to introduce SPIN numbers. They delivered a set of guidelines for the standardaisation of the identification number system used for Superannuation funds & services in Australia. APIR system were awarded the contract to produce a portal that made the new identification system available to end users (the Australian public). The initiative was supported (and quickly adopted) by the superannuation industry.
This information is provided for historical context, as SPIN number have become largely redundant. Due to the newly introduced USI Number, you should look into whether you actually need a SPIN number or a USI number.

Not every business is eligible for an ABN (but 99% are). You need to be running (or about to start) a business within Australia (obviously). Employees are not applicable for an ABN, you would need to be a self contractor of some nature (the business would generally request an ABN from you, if it's applicable). You business activity needs to serious, not a hobby. If you're just kicking around a side project and don't intend to write invoices or make any money, don't bother with an ABN. Finally, taxation (GST). This only becomes necessary when you're turning over $75,000 or more within the business. This gives many businesses some leeway when it comes to GST, until their business starts to grow.
