Hi Kylie,
Always good to get a head shot ooof these beetles. The distinctive feature of the Peltoschema oceanica is the three dots across the top of the head. However, I think these are the Common Spotted Ladybird.

TY Alison. Yeah not sure though how to get them to turn round. Always burrowed into leaves. And if I try and move the branch often they flock off.

Try putting your hand under the branch when you move it so that they fall into your hand.
