Wow really? I did not know that...
I once had a 3m carpet python living in my house (non-venomous if you don't know). Didn't see any signs of vermin for months! (I lived in a house built in 1912, loads of crawl space).

But really, as long as you’re not silly enough to stick your willie into a hollow log is western Queensland your fine... the vast majority of dangerous reptiles live away from people (snakes tend to be west of the main cities, all coastal, and crocs to far north). As for Great Whites, well, they tend to stick to far off shore to be a threat to anyone, and we have the best surf life savers in the world, as soon as there is any sign of a shark on a patrolled beach everyone is warned.

Besides, Australia is a big place, you can find areas with less dangerous animals, but with the most venomous sake (western taipan) and spider (funnel-web, very deadly to primates), I can understand your apprehension. As long as you don't invite disaster, the animals will leave you well alone. Deaths from these animals are incredibly rare (in fact I believe that the funnel-web has not claimed a life since an anti-venom was developed).

We keep Paul Hogan in a cage and Nicole overseas
