The red colouration suggests it might be a eurymelid nymph rather than a cicadellid but I would have to look at the key to confirm.

Roger, I agree it's a eurymelid nymph. But I included them in Cicadellidae following Murray Fletcher's 'Key to the Leafhoppers and Treehoppers of Australia and neighbouring areas' )NSW DPI online).
