what kind of spider?

Last night my cousin and I were watching a movie and luckily I seen there was a small spider near my cousins head…she turned on the light and the spider was the size of a10cent piece and it was similar to a redback but it was black and white…its back it had white and on its legs it looked like it had white dots…we live in Australia…does anyone know what this spider is called? is it venomous? …because my 8month old son was with me at the time…

You live in Australia. Of course it is… However I’m not an expert but it sounds like a white-tail spider, and might cause severe nausea if you get bitten.
