I'm pretty confident this is an Eremochroa sp, which Moths of Victoria says is an uncommonly observed species, but I'm not sure that it is E. alphitias beoause the exmaples online show it to be quite variable in appearance. Although E. alphitias seems the most likely given the distribuiion and spread of observations online.
