Lots of red, short thin antennae so I'm thinking female Oxycanus rufescens.

Looking at the sawtooth pattern of the antennae under magnification in Photoshop I think they are consistent with P. rufescens (cf the Moths of Victoria key, Part 6).

Thanks for your effort Ian, I'll endeavour to get better antennae shots next time.
