Assuming my suggested ID is endorsed, I note this species has been recorded by Moths of Victoria (supporting CD to Part 3) as a larval host of Correa sp. which are certainly present in my garden. Apparently this is new information because Correa sp. were not recorded as a larval host for this species in the recent summary of larval hosts for Larentiinae (Schmit 2016).
