This moth looks quite different to other Aeolothapsa malacella moths. I think it might be a different species.

Iagree, most seem not to look like this.
This record also appears on the ALA: https://biocache.ala.org.au/occurrences/0250bab3-4504-468f-8d3d-7487fc990606

The first sighting for this species on natureMapr'ss South Coast region site if confirmed , although it was anticipated it would be recorded in the region. The four spots on the forewing distinguish it from Alathapsa malacella. Nice photos,
