I would suggest a young/juvenile tarantula (Selenocosmia/Phlogius “The current generic name Selenocosmia has been wrongly applied to the Australian species and will be revised, the generic name Phlogius being reinstated”)
To get a definitive ID you may need an expert from your region. Try contacting the Australia-based experts at ‘minibeast wildlife’ on facebook, they maybe able to help.
