There are a number of child/baby related benefits for new parents:
1. newborn upfront payment (previously known as baby bonus) and newborn supplement
You may be eligible for Newborn Upfront Payment and Newborn Supplement if you or your partner has given birth to a child and:
•you are eligible for Family Tax Benefit Part A at a rate greater than nil
•you have registered or applied to register your child's birth, unless they were born overseas, and
•your child is less than 1 year old
So in your case, the two big issues are whether you can receive FTB Pt A which has income and residence requirements; and whether the fact that your child was not born in Australia disqualifies you. You'll need to seek advice from Centrelink.
2. Paid parental leave
There are work and residence tests you must meet. In the case of your wife, who has not resided or worked in Australia, this probably means she is not eligible.
If you were to apply as the father, you will need to demonstrate that YOU are the primary carer, i.e. not working but is looking after the child full time.
3. parenting payment
Again, there are residence and income tests. If you earn above a certain amount, you cannot receive it. More info. available here:

Finally, just my personal view, as a non-tax paying, non-Australian resident, it would be unfair for your wife to attempt to claim any payment from the Australian government. She has not contributed to the Australian economy in any way to justify the payment of benefits.
As for you, I think you can probably access Dad leave, or perhaps paid parental leave if you truly are the primary carer. Otherwise, depending on your income, you could also receive parenting payment or FTB.
