This moth looks quite different to other Aeolothapsa malacella moths. I think it might be a different species.

The first sighting for this species on natureMapr'ss South Coast region site if confirmed , although it was anticipated it would be recorded in the region. The four spots on the forewing distinguish it from Alathapsa malacella. Nice photos,
