Drones can’t be flown outdoors at night under Civil Aviation Rule Part 101, unless you are doing a shielded operation.
If you need to fly your drone at night unshielded you will need to apply for a Part 102 Unmanned Aircraft Operator Certificate.

Please consider investing in your own knowledge and skills by undertaking a drone pilot course.
