I can see some similarities to Batrachedra (genus) but I don't think it's quite right.

Agree: head and wings good match to H. vagella, but antemedial bar rather attenuated (but Australia does have 12 other named species in that family), but antennae not being held folded back over the wings ?

I don't think Homoeosoms vagella is quite right. I can see the similarities but this was a smaller moth.
