The obvious veins in this leaves and longish stalk on the central leaflet suggest microphylla rather than clandestina. Glycine microphylla also roots at the leaf nodes, while clandestina does not. Which does your plant do?

I searched for the Glycine at this location on 19 Feb 2019 and collected a herbarium specimen of the only species I could find. It keys out to Glycine tabacina; the length of the stalk on the central leaflet shown centre-top in the second photo above is typical of G. tabacina (the stalk is quite short in G. microphylla according to NSW PlantNet); the flower colour is quite variable.
