I'm not convinced the wing pattern matches R. divergens.

Lookng at Moths of Victoria (Vol 4). they illustrate a complex of Rhuma (genus) species for Victoria: three named species (R. argyraspis, R. divergens and R. thiobapta-an inland species) plus at least 4 unnamed species. I think this moth looks most like their 'Rhuma sp.(3)' which they say also occurs in NSW and Queensland.
