Looks like Venonia to me, however I'm not very familiar with this genus. @EmmaCollins @YumiCallaway thoughts?

Lycosidae (family)

Sounds like we'll leave it open for now, in case we can get something more (either more photos or rearing it, if you happen to be able to find it again @Hejor1). If not, I think inconclusive is best as I'm not sure we'll be able to ID it successfully.

Araneidae (family)

Of the 350 named Australian species of Psychidae, only 22 have been reared to allow those species to be identified from the case structure and head and thorax patterns, see
http://lepidoptera.butterflyhouse.com.au/psyc/psyc-cases.html
and this does not look to me like one of those.
@Hejor1 : Heather : any chance you can rear it to get an adult for an ID in due course ?

I agree this is not a spider unless somehow a spider has crawled in and is sharing the home, or the skin was included in the structure to look like spider legs, @ibaird do you know what moth it would be, or whether it is one?

@EmmaCollins and @NateKingsford I think carbon AI got confused by the first photo and changed it from Phsychidae to Araneidae. Definitely a moth. The pic shows the legs prominently, with the black head pointing to the left of the photo and obscured by the case. The body is pale with a dark patch on the back of each segment. I count maybe 3 legs, pointing toward the top/left corner of the photo.
