None.

The term "poisonous" refers to a substance that is ingested, usually by drinking or eating.

However, there are numerous venomous creatures in Australia. They include:

  • the male platypus, which delivers its venom via a spur in its ankle
  • various snakes such as the Inland Taipan, Coastal Taipan, Tiger Snake, Brown snake and Red-bellied black snake
  • Spiders such as the Sydney Funnel web spider and the Redback spider
  • Marine creatures such as the Blue-ringed octopus, Box jellyfish, Stonefish and Irukandji
