I think this is Fraus (genus) not Oxycanus (genus). Antennae seem wrong for O. antipoda. Seem to me to within the varaition in F. simulans seen elsewhere,

Oxycanus are much bigger (see the scale in book of Moths of Vic Pt6 for the different genus) This is a smaller Hep (Fraus) sitting on flywire. Some F. simulens are almost plain (see MoV Pt 6 CD pages)
