It's often mistaken for a funnel-web spider, and it is indeed venomous, but not deadly. It's to be found all over our houses, usually in or around its big funnel-shaped or furry-sheet-shaped webs high on our walls. Funnel-web spiders tend to be low down, usually on the ground, and their homes are underground.
This one was behind the garden hose reel which I rudely removed the other day.
The black house spider also goes by the name of Badumna insignis.
