Yeah, I just took the first image of a tarantula I could find.
Perhaps ironically, a tarantula is probably one of the safest types of spider you could hope to meet in Australia.
They have a mild venom, are keen on being outside (rather than dark indoor places like shoes and under furniture), they actively hunt (so don't tend to wait in corners or dig holes), they're large yet identifiable (fat body shape and often have bright colours), and they're usually quite docile.
If threatened they're more likely to fire their hairs at you (which are irritating, but not venomous) than try to bite you.
Poisons can be transferred through contact as well (e.g. poison dart frogs).
I was literally just thinking that, actually. Wondering if poison darts count as poison despite not being ingested.
At any rate, spider/snake bites and scorpion/bee/insect stings are all venoms, rather than poisons.
