I think this is the same as https://canberra.naturemapr.org/Community/Sightings/Details/4204716, but it shows the eye pattern more clearly.

This spider looks very similar to, and has the same eye pattern as, sighting 3377997 which is identified as Zoridae sp. (family). Its eyes don't look like a wolf spider.

Eye pattern is more like family Miturgidae.

It seems that Zoridae is sometimes included in Miturgidae (eg Whyte and Anderson) and sometimes as a separate family (eg Framenau et al).
