Thanks so much for the ID tip Martin! I'll follow up on that... Yes, I agree, it's a nice moth. And it looks like it's been decorated with a bit of glitter - especially for Christmas! :-)

Looking closely, its a really nice moth. This ID suggestion is not very solid but a start for you. I suspect you have an Anthela sp. http://lepidoptera.butterflyhouse.com.au/anth/astata.html
