It depends on what is meant by childcare.
Childcare services, accreditation for childcare centres and so on, are all overseen by the Federal (Commonwealth) government.
Children's services and child safety, e.g. foster care, are overseen by the State government.

The territories of Australia are established by the Commonwealth government, and are therefore subject to Commonwealth laws.

The territories are really just extensions of the Commonwealth government and its laws. When the six colonies federated as states, their powers were defined by the Constitution. The territories were established a decade after federation, and although there is provision for them to become states at a later time, until that happens they are still subject only to Commonwealth law.

These six states gave approval to the Constitution empowering the new Commonwealth government to pass laws on some levels and overseeing some areas, yet allowing the states to retain other law-making rights. Simply stated, the states have the right to make and pass their own laws. They have the constitutional right to convene a state parliament.Territories do not have this right. They cannot convene their own government or pass laws but are subject to the Commonwealth laws. Having said that, however, the Northern Territory and the ACT are still self-governing territories. That means that these territories have the power to convene a parliament and make their own laws - but unlike the states, the Commonwealth can override these laws at any time, should it so choose.
