Funnel-web spider
Only two Australian spider species, the red-back and the Sydney funnel-web, are deadly. The funnel-web is aggressive and is one of the most dangerous spiders in the world. A bite is considered a medical emergency. Since antivenom was introduced, however, there have been hardly any deaths from spider bites.
