The process of admittance was established by the Northwest Ordinance of 1787, which organized the territory north of the Ohio River and east of the Mississippi River and established the precedent by which the nation would expand westward, forming federally governed territories, that when they had met the guidelines of the ordinance would become a sovereign state, rather than be incorporated into an already existing state. The Ordinance went further to describe that the territories north of the Ohio would be Free. Following this, and to some extent, the Missouri Compromise was also integral to the annexation (Texas) and admittance processes in Antebellum America, as it defined which states would have the option to be slave-holding, and which wouldn't.

The territories of Australia are established by the Commonwealth government, and are therefore subject to Commonwealth laws. The Commonwealth may deign to give them powers to establish laws in some areas, but essentially this is at the discretion of the Commonwealth government. The territories are really just extensions of the Commonwealth government and its laws. When the six colonies federated as states, their powers were defined by the Constitution. The territories were established a decade after federation, and although there is provision for them to become states at a later time, until that happens they are still subject only to Commonwealth law.
The 13 colonies were created as states by the Declaration of Independence and the NW Territories were carved afterward by government.
