Found this bird in my backyard after some winds and think he fell out of his nest. Any info on what bird and how I can help look after him?

Help IDing bird for tattoo pls!

This video was taken at Kingcliffe Beach in NSW in October, but I've seen this bird around Brisbane a bit. I think they're so graceful and I'm considering getting one tattooed if I can find out specifically what it is- some sort of heron/egret??

Please help identify this bird call. Southern tablelands NSW close to the Illawarra

They seem to call each other over a long distance and there and occasionally go in to a higher tempo call.
