You must first satisfy the requirements of the Department of Community Services in your state, these requirements are VERY strict. Then the child that you plan to adopt must meet Australian immigration requirements.
Adoption in Australia is extremely rare and hard to achieve. There are less than 4 adoptions here of any kind each year….be they domestic newborn, adoption from foster care or international.
Contact your local Department of Community Services, that is the ONLY starting point for adoption in Australia.

I found this on-line:
Who can adopt from Pakistan?
Eligibility requirements for Pakistani adoption are noted below:
The adoptive parents have to be a Muslim (unless the agencies know they are placing a Christian Child, they would not place a child with Christian family);
At least one of the parents must be of Pakistani origin and be eligible for a NICOP or CNIC;
Couples must be married for at least three years;
For a single man/woman, although the law does not prohibit adoption, it is not very common and may be more difficult; and
At least one of the prospective adoptive parent must be a citizen of the country of residence (i.e. America, Canada, UK, etc.).

You both can go to Pakistan, you Contact social organisation for adopting. You adopt child as mother and you can file for her visa.
Why do you want to adopt a child specifically from Pakistan? You would have a much easier time adopting from India, which is right next door. I know several people who were adopted from India- it’s overcrowded and poverty stricken, with many orphaned children.
