It seems unlikely we can do better than Amata sp. (genus) as suggested, however it is interesting that this specimen seems to have a forewing pattern unlike those already recorded on CNM and which is quite close to A. recedens. See link to PBH below;
http://lepidoptera.butterflyhouse.com.au/arct/recedens.html
However records for A. recedens seem only to be sourced from Queensland.
