It's Paratya australiensis. They can be variable in coloration although most of them seem to be more or less transparent. As far as I know this species is the only atyid shrimp that occurs that far south in Australia besides Caridina mccullochi. It's also one of the more common, if not the most common, species in Australia.
They produce hundreds (thousands?) of tiny larvae, which, however, can remain in freshwater. The larvae do need to be fed, though, and it takes about 3-4 weeks (depending on temperature I guess) for the larvae to turn into mini-shrimp.
