Looking at Bold Systems 4, I don't think E. phoeneura (northern Australia) or E. signata(southern Ausytralia) seem to match. However, a search for 'Epicoma Tasmania; revealed many specimens for E. melanospila which I suggest match well, including examples with broad black forewing margins, yellow highlights and a prominent white 'face'..

Yes, I agree. Looking at Moths of Victoria (Part 9) supporting disc for the Proteuxoa spp. it looks a good match for the identifying features the authors outline for the species:-
'prominent white orbicular spot; large buff-coloured reniform mark with a long tail; additional small white spot near forewing base'. The banded frontal face to the thorax matchedstoo.
The authors also say P. marginalis is known to occur in NSW and the ACT.
