The five stars on the right hand side of the Australian flag represent the constellation called 'The Southern Cross'. This constellation is unique to the southern skies, and was a valuable navigation aid to early sailors.

The seven-pointed star beneath the Union Jack is the Commonwealth star, or Federation star. It has seven points, with six of the points representing the six states of Australia, and the seventh representing Australia's two mainland territories as well as its numerous external (offshore) territories.
