Thanks Daniel, Livan and Atul for the ID..

I agree with Livan, definitely an ant-mimicing jumping spider.

Don't know Australian spiders, but yes that is a spider. From the face looks like a jumper. Also seems to be a mimic, ant mimic I guess, though the front legs reminded me of a leaf footed bug.
