Thanks for the ID @donhe . It's interesting as I thought the abdomen looked a bit different on this one to other Lipotriches australica I have seen like at https://southcoast-nsw.naturemapr.org/sightings/4573216.

Don, Lipotriches australica would have clear golden hair bands on the abdomen. I don’t think this is a Lipotriches. Possibly Leioproctus, but difficult to be sure. Any thoughts?

I agree : Lipotriches have clear yellow bands which this does not have. Some Leioproctus have a plain black abdomen like this.
