Zborowski & Edwards A Guide to Australian Moths p. 82 advises  that Utetheisa pulchelloides is widely distributed in northern Australia and often reaches Southern Australia in large numbers where it feeds on Paterson’s Curse. I believe I’ve seen the odd individual around my place, and it is probably the species that Geoffrey Dabb photographed during the Easter weekend at wherever.
