Australian Army, like the other comment said. The shoulder insignia look to be a LTGEN if I count the pixels right; seems to be a crown and crossed sword and baton on her shoulder.

Compare: https://www.army.gov.au/about-us/ranks

Edit: Found her: Lieutenant General Michelle Irene McGuinness, CSC, promoted to lieutenant general and appointed National Cyber Security Coordinator in February 2024.
She was cited in an article about the incident: https://dailysecurityreview.com/news/medisecure-data-breach-update/

NGL, kinda proud I figured out the rank before I thought of looking for news articles.

Well done, good sleuthing.

It's the red patch on the lapel that looks really out of place for what I'd expect of a British-derived uniform.

This is the kind of uniform I was thinking of

Some searching leads me to think these are called "gorget patches", but I'm not sure of all the details.
