Pattern and shading placements, especially on head resemble the spider in the following sighting:

Salticidae (family) (Unidentified Jumping spider) on 12 Nov 2017
This sighting was suggested to possibly be a female Hypoblemum sp. (genus).

I think this one fits in with the bottom right image on p251 of Robert Whyte and Greg Anderson's 'A field guide to spiders of Australia' in which it states the spider in that image, after being referred to incorrectly in earlier years, will officially remain Hypoblemum albovittatum until a revision is written.

The link above provides a highly in-depth report with plenty of images of individuals which are now their own distinct species (previously just bunched in to Hypoblemum albovittatum or H. villosum). Now it's a distinct species! This individual is a female Hypoblemum griseum (the ID will need to be updated): there are lots of images and descriptions for comparison against from page 26 of the PDF link at the top of this comment.
