#### External territories

Each external territory is regulated by an Act of the federal Parliament. These Acts contain the majority of provisions determining the legal and political structure applying in that external territory. Under s 122 of the Australian Constitution the federal Parliament has plenary power to make laws for all territories including all external territories.
The Cocos (Keeling) Islands voted for integration in 1984. Together with Christmas Island, these two territories comprise the Australian Indian Ocean Territories. Commonwealth laws apply automatically to the territories unless expressly stated otherwise and residents of both external territories are associated with Northern Territory for federal elections. They are, thus, constitutionally part of Australia.

The Heard Island and McDonald Islands, although uninhabited, are treated as constitutionally part of Australia by the central government.

Norfolk Island's status is controversial, with the present () government taking measures to integrate the territory into Australia proper (including representation in parliament and compulsory voting). The Norfolk Islanders have not formally consented to this change in constitutional status and assert that they are not Australian.

### Former territories
#### Internal
Two internal territories established by the Australian federal government under Section 122 of the Constitution of Australia no longer exist:

*Central Australia (1926–1931), consisting of the area of the current Northern Territory south of the 20th parallel south
*North Australia (1926–1931), consisting of the area of the current Northern Territory north of the 20th parallel south

#### External
Two present-day Oceanic countries, Papua New Guinea (PNG) and Nauru, were administered by the federal government of Australia as *[[de facto]]* or *[[de jure]]* external territories for differing periods between 1902 and 1975.

##### Papua and New Guinea (1883–1975)
*Territory of Papua:
** 1883–1902: A *de facto* part of Queensland (*de jure* British territory in 1888–1900)
** 1902–1949: An external territory of Australia
*Territory of New Guinea: 1920–1949, under a League of Nations mandate. The territory was previously known as German New Guinea between 1884 and 1914; it was formally under Australian military occupation in 1914–1920).

Following World War II, the *[[Papua and New Guinea Act 1949]]* placed the Territory of New Guinea in an "administrative union" with the Territory of Papua, and the combined Territory of Papua and New Guinea was created. However, both territories remained technically distinct for some administrative and legal purposes. Following the passage of the *[[Papua New Guinea Independence Act 1975]]*, the combined entity eventually was given independence as the Independent State of Papua New Guinea.

##### Nauru (1920–1968)
Nauru was previously under the German colonial empire as part of the German New Guinea.  Following World War I, the Australian government received a League of Nations mandate for Nauru. After World War II, the Territory of Papua, Territory of New Guinea and Nauru were all controlled by the Australian government as United Nations trust territories. Following the passage of the *[[Nauru Independence Act 1967]]*, Nauru was granted independence in 1968.
