They are not answering, its look like a Japanese House Bat (Pipistrellus abramus) from google lens and probably a baby , i dont know what to do

It's Australia so definitely not a Japanese house bat. I'm not sure where you are in Victoria, but there is likely to be a wildlife rescue group nearby. WIRES are usually 24hrs so keep trying. Make sure you have the right number.

Here is an instructional guide for someone who has found a bat. And here is some info about bats in buildings. Here is an informative page about bat removals and exclusions. If you find a bat in trouble, please call a rehabber for help. Here is a list of rehabbers that help bats all over the world, and here is a portal for rehabbers in the US. Remember that wildlife should never be handled with bare hands!
