I believe they are a two races of one species. I saw a perfect "Golden-backed" just north of Brisbane, where Black-chinned are meant to occur, a few years back. Clements lumps them and he is generally a splitter.

Golden-backed are a race of the Black-chinned ... at the moment
 
But Christides & Boles wrote in their Taxonomy of Aust Birds that " they would probably be split again" for their next edition (whenever that is ! )
