Aus population : around 16M.
Illegal immigrants in Aus does not appear to be a problem, because of the remote island situation of the country.

Employers are not required by law to do anything about health insurance. Theres someting called "Medicare" which a person pays out of his/her taxes : 1.5% of annual wages. It gives you the ability to be teated by a doc in hospitals/clinics etc as scheduled. If one does not like the 'public sector scheduling', one takes out Private Insurance (claimable on taxes), to have best choice & timing.

There are various ways to migrate to Aus. Not all of them need a job/employment (think family reasons).

Does AU still not allow people without jobs to immigrate?

In some situations, yes. My mom will be here soon as a migrant. she aint gonna be working. My sponsorship essentially takes on her healthcare, accomodation etc costs for the 1st 2 years. After that she can use Medicare facilities.
