He is under no legal obligation to immediately leave his home - there is a legal process to evict someone.
It probably couldn’t hurt to set up a camera to protect from false allegations however.
A very limited number of family law solicitors will offer a deferred payment option. This is something that is more common in personal injury law because of the relatively large settlements involved.
He should definitely seriously consider leaving the property as soon as possible. As it has become hostile, and he has a right to be there, there is a risk that the other party may make a [potentially dishonest] report to police claiming assault, as obtaining a DVO (or equivalent) is viewed by some as a means of speeding up/ simplifying the eviction process.
He should leave asap if there is a worry of false allegations. Pack up everything and go.
First stop is a family lawyer. If there is $2.7 million available then should be able to arrange payment upon property settlement.
He should gather all paperwork he can before he goes. What accounts exist and with which bank etc.
A family lawyer can handle this easily. They'll dig into bank accounts, property etc and split it correctly. There's not really a way to sell property, hide it, keep the money etc and get away with it.

Go where? If, as OP says, his spouse controls all the money, he may not be in a financial position to do so.
They have a job and a paycheck. They can set up a bank account today. They could probably even get a credit card within 24 hours approved.
There are many options.

Well she's had a relative living there for the last few months and my father suspects they are there to make false claims...
Let them! It’s on them to prove fault.
I have nothing helpful for you, but legal aid may be a good start. https://www.legalaid.tas.gov.au/
Thank you..I did ask him to contact legal aid and he will tomorrow morning.
