There's a seed pod visible in one photo. Looks like it is from the myrtacea family which includes leptospermum, kunzea, astartea and others.
Try Plantnet http://plantnet.rbgsyd.nsw.gov.au/ for ID plants in NSW, including ACT. You can search by location or plant names to narrow down the possibilities

This one looks like Kunzea peduncularis , Mountain Burgan . Which used to be called Kunzea ericoides . It can get confusing because it's still sold as Kunzea ericoides at nurseries .
