Tight eye group, elongated chalicerae, visible spinnerets. Thinking towards Anamidae (have been found within 200km of Canberra (ALA & Inaturalist), Chenistonia has a distinctive abdominal pattern; so leaning towards Aname if it's an Anamid.

I'm unaware of any Anamids occurring in Canberra, so this is most likely Stanwellia, from the family Pycnothilidae. I'm hoping there are more pictures of it (I strongly doubt), otherwise I'll be happy to be sent the original as NatureMapR destroys the quality of photos
