This looks like Drymaplaneta communis. Rentz does not list this species as being in Tasmania, so this may mean it hasn't been documented here, or it has travelled here in mulch or pot plants. Of course I'm not 100% discounting there is a chance this may be a very similar species, but I am going with this for now.
Maybe @Youning could shed some light on this?
