The colonies met in the 1890's to draft up a constitution for the new federation, the people of the colonies voted in 1899 in a referendum whether to federate, which passed and the British Parliament passed the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act 1900 which allowed for the creation of Australia starting on Jan 1st 1901

Pretty quickly elections were held and the first commonwealth parliament sat in May of 1901
