No. Atrans occurs in the Snowy Mtns and ACT, and the tip of the dorsal sepal curves down very strongly. However it does not look quite like the common grandiflora - no sign of the usual russet colouring and the sinus not quite right.
It is a good idea with orchids to wait till the labellum (the tongue in the middle) resets and becomes visible again for a front on photo. Its colour and shape are very helpful for the ID.

Looks like alveata to me too (although obtusa is very similar), but I'd like to wait and see if David Jones weighs in.
