Only at intersections under certain circumstances. They can’t walk down the middle of the road or cross in other locations.

#QuickLaw: Can You Receive A Fine For Jaywalking In Australia?

Some of the most common “jaywalking” offences in Australia include:

Pedestrians who cross the road by ignoring red pedestrian lights
Crossing the road diagonally where you aren’t permitted to do so
Crossing the road on a green light
Not using a zebra crossing within 20 metres of your location
Walking in the middle of a breakdown lane

Did you also know drivers are not required to give way to pedestrians when leaving a roundabout, but common sense should prevail.

Pedestrians : VicRoads

Pedestrians are not allowed to:

cross the road if they are facing an amber or red traffic or pedestrian light
cross the road within 20 metres of a pedestrian crossing - they must use the crossing
get out of a moving vehicle
cross a railway level crossing when it is not allowed
cause a traffic hazard by moving into the path of a driver
walk along, or fail to give way when crossing, a path which is for bicycles and wheeled devices (a path showing a 'Bicycle lane' sign).

My post was that it was illegal to stop on a footpath or crossing as the pedestrians have the right of way. That's clearly true. You've gone off onto other issues.
