I would be surprised if it was possible to pick the chicks as one species or the other from that photo but the adults are Grey Teals.

Subject: [canberrabirds] ID Confirmation requested
The attached image of two adults and several ducklings was taken at Jerrabomberra Wetland on 23 Oct 16. I have tentatively identified the birds as Grey Teal. Is this ID correct; could they be Chestnut Teal? I
am happy to provide a higher resolution image if requested.
