Cockroaches (Blattodea, several families)
A good reference for Cockroaches is the book “A Guide to the Cockroaches of Australia” by David Rentz. https://www.publish.csiro.au/book/6710/
This webpage by the CSIRO is also useful:

I cant find any info on Johnrehnia solida, and the inaturalist link is only a suggestion from one person and not a solid ID. Unfortunately they are not mentioned in Rentz's book on Cockroaches, so in the absence of evidence that this might be something else I am fairly confident in an ID of Robshelfordia circumducta.

I will do some reading, hopefully Rentz has some info in his cockroach book. From a quick online search they look very similar but I need to do more searching. Always more to learn.

I based my suggestion on iNaturalist and ALA records which also seem to come from iNaturalist so it may not be correct.
