My guess is the Scaly-breasted Lorikeet, the only Lorikeet with a completely green head. I assume it was taken near Taree? that would be well within its range.

Definitely a scaley breasted. They were common in our garden in Avalon, NSW but I haven't seen them for a couple of years. Possibly migrated to Taree!
