Unfortunately the resolution and focus of the photo are insufficient to allow a confident identification. It could be P. atrata or P. ventrolineata, or indeed an other species. The eyes are not visible, nor the ventral surface.

I can't see any segmentation, I think this might be a Flatworm.

Thank you. If I see it again should I kill it ie does it have an impact on local natives?

Probably no need to kill it, it is a native, although if its a stripe bellied flatworm it originated in another part of australia. Best to leave it. Happy for more sightings with a closer view.
