Mike it looks like the Strawberry Tree Aphid, Wahlgreniella nervata, a native of north America, which I don't think has been formerly recognised as occurring in Australia, though I note there are two records on Inaturalist. It seems to feed on a range of Rose family plants but doesn't seem to be considered a pest risk.
