Hard to say but looks like the Southern myotis

Myotis macropus

Batty and Betty are either Vespadelus vulturnus or V. regulus.
Both species look very similar and are among the smallest mammals in Australia.

Vespadelus sp. (genus)

I do have other photos. Is there anything specific that you need to give a better ID?
This bat had landed in a shallow bowl and it couldn't actually take off flying from this position. It was taken outside.
The person who caught them has absolutely no taxonomic qualifications whatsoever so no ID from them.

Vespertilionidae (family)
