Looks somewhat like Metasia tiasalis, but both the ALA amd Bold Systems 4 show M. tiasalis as a northern NSW and far north Qld species.

I think the shape of the hindwing tornus of Metasia tiasalis differs from that of this specimen.
Bearing in mind that BOLD shows a dozen unnamed Australian Metasia species from as far south as Tasmania, and that this photograph does not appear to have an ideal orientation or illumination, I thought we might just leave it as Metasia species.
