The 16-year-old boys were arrested by a counter-terrorism team in a laneway behind a Muslim prayer hall.
They were allegedly carrying two bayonet-style knives purchased that day and notes pledging allegiance to IS.
At a news conference, police said the boys had been charged with terror-related offences.
The Australian Broadcasting Corp is reporting that one of the boys is the son of a convicted terrorist. Police declined to comment on that report.
