Silent Calls and Callback Scam Risks
Silent calls from numbers like 04 7851 9323 can indicate several possibilities. The call may be from an automated system testing whether the number is active and monitored.

Calling back to an unknown number can trigger premium-rate charges or connect to a scammer posing as a legitimate service.
Because 0478519323 is registered to Optus Mobile, it may also be a legitimate business using an automated dialler that malfunctioned, though this does not explain why no voicemail was left or follow-up made.
