So in effect you are planning on trying to skirt Australian Immigration law by timing it right?

You will need to provide prepayment of medical services or have health insurance that is accepted internationally.

Most countries do not give Citizenship merely by being born there ( US is one of the few), unless one family member has citizenship.
