Ref' (in brief, without full citation):

• Flora of NSW online PlantNet:
Senecio genus botanical key to species: https://plantnet.rbgsyd.nsw.gov.au/cgi-bin/NSWfl.pl?page=nswfl&lvl=gn&name=Senecio

The steps i checked your photographs for these features including the full resolution of these photographs when necessary and thus chose:
• Heads radiate ...,
• Ligules of ray florets yellow or whitish,
• Involucral bracts 5–14, rarely more in some heads,
• Involucral bracts 10–14, rarely more in some heads,
• Middle stem leaves sessile, stem-clasping, not tapered into a petiole-like base, more or less cordate with distinct auricles,
• Lower surface of leaves and stems glabrous,
• Involucral bracts 5–7 mm long; ligules 5–8 mm long; achenes 2–4 mm long; coastal, tablelands and Western Slopes species,
• Bracteoles usually not present at base of involucre
