One of Australia's mainland territories is the Australian Capital Territory. The Australian Capital Territory does not have a capital. Australia's national capital is Canberra, and the Australian Capital Territory was created purely to be the site for the nation's capital. Although Canberra is within the ACT, it is not the "capital" of the ACT.

Australia's other mainland territory is the Northern Territory. The capital of the Northern Territory is Darwin.

Australia also has seven offshore territories. None of these has a "capital", as such, but the administrative capital of Norfolk Island (one of the offshore territories) is Kingston, which is the site of the Assembly and other government offices.
