Generally, wallabies give birth to a single joey in one year. However, almost all wallabies have the unique feature of embryonic diapause, which means they can actually give birth more often. What this means is that the mother wallaby spends most of her adult life pregnant, but in drought times, she has the ability to indefinitely "freeze" the development of the young embryo until food sources are replenished. This is the same with kangaroos, and is called embryonic diapause.
