Could it be Scoparia ithyntis?

I don't think so, markings too diffuse.

Could it be a Nola species? I'm sure I saw this moth recently but I havn't processed the phtots yet. Coming soon.

Yes I agree it looks similar to several different Nola species. Of those on LBH I would say it looks most like Nola paromoea (Divided Tuft-moth) which has been recorded in he ACT,
