If you are married, you either file for the immigrant visa or the K-3 to enter the US to apply for adjustment of status. As your US citizen wife will be lawfully residing in Australia (I presume), the US consulate there should have jurisdiction to accept a direct filing of the I-130 relative petition. Contact the consulate or embassy directly to confirm she can file there. If not, she files it with the USCIS in the US.

If you have plans of getting married, you can file a Form I-130 immigration petition for him once you are legally married. Since you are a US citizen, the petition will be classified under Immediate Relative category for which visa numbers are immediately available. This means he can apply for a green card simultaneously with the filing of the immigrant petition. This also means that his previous overstay and unauthorized employment will not disqualify him from applying for a green card, as long as he entered lawfully and meets the other requirements to adjust status in the United States.
