Not unlike Lipotriches (Austronomia) flavoviridis on p.191 of Terry Houston's Guide to Native Bees of Australia

Well spotted. It is one of the L. flavoviridis species group for which there is presently no key to species. The thing that sets L. phaneura apart is the orange colour of the tegulae covering the bases of the wings. Most other species in the group have brown tegulae.
