I've looked closely at the female C. hetereoleuca and compared it with the female C. bichromata as illustrated on Lepidoptera Buttefly House. I think the detailed shape of the forewing markings is closer to C. bichromata than the female C. heteroleuca.

Chrysolarentia bichromata

Yes. I think so. Could be confused with Prasinocyma ocyptera but this moth gas a green not whitish head or 'face', has no hint of lineation on the forewings and lacks the general cover of white 'stribulae; (*Moths of Vicoria key) which P. ocyoptera shows. C. germana was introduced frim South Australia to contril African Boneseed,
