I'm not a projections guru, but I suspect it will look something like the 
following.  Note that I'm just throwing this together to give you an idea - 
and to give others something to correct :)

Hope it helps you!

PROJECTION
 "proj=lcc"  # Projection name
 "lat_0=-37" # Latitude origin
 "lon_0=145"  # Central meridian
 "lat_1=-36"
 "lat_2=-38"
 "x_0=2500000"
 "y_0=4500000"
 "unit=meters"
END
