States and territories of Australia

The states and territories of Australia are the regional governments in Australia, distinct from the federal government and local governments. States are self-administered regions with their own constitutions, legislature, police services, departments, and certain civil authorities, that administer and deliver most public policies and programmes. Territories administer local policies and programmes much like states, but are constitutionally and financially subordinate to the federal government.
