For most purposes, "Canberra" and "ACT" are the same thing. As an
example, the ABS treats them as the same:

"The Capital City definition of Canberra now extends to include the
entire ACT. While this involves a large change in area from the current
SD the difference in population is minimal. The non-urban component of
the ACT has too small a population to be included in a separate SA4 and
consequently the SA4 defining Canberra must include the entire ACT."

Statistical Areas Level 4, Capital Cities and Statistical Areas Level 3,
