1.1 For the purposes of subparagraphs 6.1 (b), 6.2 (b), 6.3 (b) and 6.5 (b), the aeronautical experience must include:
(a) instrument flight training as required to reach the standard specified in subsection 2 of this Appendix; and
(b) at least 10 hours of flight time as a pilot that was flown at night and that includes:
(i) at least 5 hours of flight time in an aircraft of the category appropriate to the grade of rating to which the paragraph relates; and
(ii) at least 2 hours of flight time in an aircraft that is flying in a traffic pattern; and
(iii) at least 1 hour of flight time in an aircraft:
(A) that is flying in a traffic pattern; and
(B) that is of the category appropriate to the grade of rating to which the paragraph relates; and
(c) 5 hours dual navigation night flight time including:
(i) 2 hours visual instruction by an approved pilot
; and
(ii) in the case of subparagraph 6.1 (b) — at least 1 cross-country flight in dual flying that satisfies the following requirements:
(A) the duration of the flight must be at least 3 hours;
(B) the flight must cover at least 100 miles; and
(iii) in the case of subparagraph 6.2 (b) — at least 1 cross-country flight in dual flying that satisfies the following requirements:
(A) the duration of the flight must be at least 3 hours;
(B) the flight must cover at least 100 miles; and
(iv) in the case of subparagraph 6.3 (b) — at least 1 cross-country flight in dual flying that satisfies the following requirements:
(A) the duration of the flight must be at least 3 hours;
(B) the flight must cover at least 100 miles; and
(v) in the case of subparagraph 6.5 (b) — at least 1 cross-country flight in dual flying that satisfies the following requirements:
(A) the duration of the flight must be at least 3 hours;
(B) the flight must cover at least 40 miles.
1.2 For the purposes of subparagraph 1.1 (b), the same flight time may be counted towards as many of sub-subparagraphs 1.1 (b) (i), 1.1 (b) (ii) and 1.1 (b) (iii) as describe the flight time.
We have these requirements for a bare NVFR rating

A particular grade of command instrument rating authorises the holder of the
rating to fly an aircraft of the category concerned within Australia as pilot in
command, or co-pilot, using the navigation aids endorsed in the holder’s
personal log book in the following circumstances:
(a) Private and aerial work flights under night V.F.R. procedures provided
the pilot meets the aeronautical and recent experience requirements
applicable to a night V.F.R. endorsement.
(b) Charter flights under night V.F.R. procedures, provided the following
aeronautical and recent experience requirements are satisfied:
(i) Aeronautical Experience. The pilot’s aeronautical experience shall
include 10 hours cross-country flight time using night V.F.R.
procedures including a minimum of 2 navigation exercises (of at
least 300 nautical miles or 3 hours duration), as either pilot in
command or in command under supervision.
Each exercise shall
exceed a distance of 100 nautical miles from the point of departure
and shall provide at least 1 landing at an aerodrome other than that
of departure, located in an area remote from extensive ground
lighting.
Yet we need the above two requirements to utilize the rating for any real purpose.

I suggest doing an extra "dual" nav in your training, or after achieving the rating conducting a solo nav to meet the above requirements.
