In Australia how does a territory become a state?

The area desiring Statehood first petitions Congress for admission. 2. If and when Congress chooses, it passes an enabling act, which directs the framing of a proposed State constitution. 3. A convention prepares the constitution, which is then put to a popular vote in the proposed State. 4. If the voters approve the constitution, it is then submitted to Congress for its consideration. 5. If Congress still agrees to Statehood after reviewing the document, it passes an act of admission. 6. If the President signs the act, the new State enters the union.For a territory to become a state, they must petition Congress for statehood. Once this is done, they must adopt both a government and a constitution that is compliant with the US Constitution. They must then wait to see if they are voted in or not. If they are voted in by Congress, the president must sign a joint resolution to declare them a state.
