Certainly Atelurinae. Quite likely Australiatelura sp. but this can only be determined by close examination of the ventral abdomen
Atelurinae (subfamily)

Difficult to determine but probably a silverfish of the genus Heterolepisma
Lepismatidae (family)

Almost certainly correct. Please note that the genus name is likely to change some time this year due to some DNA work on South American silverfish

It appears to be a species of Heterolepisma, probably H. highlandi which I have collected several times around, but not within the ACT. Please note that the genus name is likely to change within the next few months due to molecular studies of some South American Heterolepisma species.
