Usually I’d leave this at Genus-level without a view of the head & thorax. It appears that our other known option of Uroplata fuvlvopustulata is predominantly found in FNQld so I think we can safely say (given your location) that this is Uroplata girardi😊

This is not a group I’m familiar with, but it looks very much like Mecynodera coxalgica. Yours appears more mottled in the underlay colour which is usually a solid colour. I’m wondering if it’s because it might be recently eclosed & still needs to fully colour-up. I’ll Verify it to Genus-level for you & make the Suggestion at Species-level😊
