Australia is the name of the continent on which the country of Australia exists.
Australasia is a region ... which includes Australia, Christmas Islands, Cocos Islands, New Guinea, New Zealand, Norfolk Island and is a part of Oceania.
Oceania is the entire region of the south west Pacific and includes Australia, Fiji, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Nauru, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu, Vanuatu and others.
So there is no other name for Australasia or Oceania - and while the regions do overlap, they are not the same thing.
Hence, comprehensively, Oceania is not a continent but a region of the Pacific Ocean. It comprises many nations, their territories, and independent islands such as: * Australia * New Zealand * East Timor * Fiji * parts of Indonesia * New Caledonia * Papua New Guinea * Solomon Islands * Vanuatu * Micronesia * Guam * Kiribati * Marshall Island * Nauru * North Mariana Island * Palau * American Samoa * Cook Island * French Polynesia * Nive * Samoa * Tokelau * Tonga * Tuvalu * Wallis & Futuna.
Finally, being a large country by comparison, the states of Australia include Tasmania, New South Wales, Victoria, Western Australia, South Australia and Queensland. There are also two 'territories': Northern Territory and the Australian Capital Territory (ACT).
