Using the Moths of Victoria key I think this is probably Chlorocoma melocrossa,(ie. no red on costa) - although the costal edge appears white rather than yellow and there is no obvious yellow fringe to the forewings and hindwings. Some C. melocrossa apparently have white rather than yellow edges however, see CNM Sighting 4355956 .

Probably, but I think the resolution of detail in the photos is insufficient to be sure of these details.
