I have found no good match of this moth if Dichromodes (genus) online. On Bold Systems Dichromodes sp. ANIC 160 looked somewhat similar (1 set specimen from NSW).

I can't see a good match either and when I looked at BOLD I didn't see ANIC160 - perhaps you have access to a more comprehensive version.

I use Bold Systems 4. There is another older looking version at least. I'm not sure what the difference is.

Another possibility is the highly variable Dichromodes atrosignata however no examples I've yet seen are so neat and strongly coloured as this example.
