Your photo looks distinctive and a fresh specumen.
Haven't been able to find a good match on CNM or in Macrobathra (genus) or Limnaecia (genus) on Bold 4.
The closest I;ve found are these classified as Macrobathra (genus) on the ALA. All are from Far east Gipsland suggesting this might be a tropical/subtropical species, I suppose:-
