Leptomyrmex erythrocephalus
Common throughout NE Melbourne, they don't see to bite!

Thanks for the I.D han_david. I've been looking at these cool little guys for a while wondering what they are.
According to ant wiki other similar species don't occur in Melbourne so i'll tentatively label it as Leptomyrmex erythrocephalus. http://www.antwiki.org/wiki/Leptomyrmex_...
