The states and territories are not signatures to the convention, the act I listed (there is a similar one for international operations to/from Australia) are commonwealth acts. The head of power comes from the trade provisions between states in the constitution.
There well maybe additional legislation for intrastate flights, I am just unfamiliar with it.
