This doesn't look robust enough for Juncus ingens (Australia's biggest Juncus); and it doesn't seem tall enough

Too immature to ID to species. These Juncus species really need pics of mature flowerheads, the pith in the culms, and the long leaf sheaths (cataphylls) at the base of the culms to confirm an ID
Juncus sp.

I agree that this is J. ingens - the biggest of our native rush species.
