Oncopera alpina looks likely to me.

I remain to be convinced this is Coleophoridae or Coleophora (genus) given the recognided Australian species in this family or are few and I see none online classified as such similar to this specimen. But yes, family Coleophoridae, is in superfamily Gelechioidea (AFD).
Here on NatureMapr Coleophora alcyonipennella has been correctly allocated to Gelechioidea.
I'm not sure I see the dark spots on this streaked specimen which are similar to Coleophora serinipennella.
Gelechioidea (superfamily)

Perhaps Labdia sp.ANIC5 (there are many images), but I don't see the apparently characteristic downward curve in the white line along the costa that many of those speciimens seem to have.
Elachista flammula
