This may be an unnamed species from the Scoparia (genus).
It appears to be a good match to this moth of which there are several photos on the ALA by Reiner Richter, see here:-
https://bie.ala.org.au/species/https://biodiversity.org.au/afd/taxa/3fb7a124-1ad4-4213-bb53-ab46b983cf8c#gallery
Further searching on Bold Systems may match it to an unnamed or named species held by ANIC.
A good photo an an apparent first for CNM.
