I think this has been misidentified and is more likely to be Ectropis excursaria. There is a strong kink in the strong black line in the forewing ( Didymoctenia doesn't have this feature). The sloping hindwing line, plain without dots, shows with magnification I believe, a distinct 'step' at either outward end. I can't see pectinations on the antenna, but that just may mean the specimen is female. I think it looks close to female specimens of E. excursaria on the Moths of Victoria supporting disc.

I've undone your previous confirmation so that it goes back into the Unidentified list with your new suggestion.
