Collared Sun orchid is an uncommon sighting in the ACT- well spotted Nic

User's notes

There are small spots on the petals if you look closely which made me suspect it was a simulata. Also only one flower which eliminates some of the other options.

T. juncifolia has finger like glands and a reddish band at the apex of the column, neither of which appear present, and T. simulata has small spots.
