Yeah, watch out for the drop bears. I've lived here since 1966. I've seen a snake in the wild once. I've never seen a shark in the water, or a crocodile for that matter. Only the cops carry guns and we've not had a mass shooting since 1996. We have one of the lowest COVID death rates in the world.
The greatest safety precaution you can take is to learn to swim. Drowning is the leading cause of death for tourists. Australia is a huge place, nearly the size of the USA if you exclude Alaska. There are plenty of dangerous places, just like the US. Do your research.
Australia is a federation. Each state is different. The North is tropical; it can snow in the south.
What we don't have is the level of violence and gun crime that some areas of the US and UK experience. Sorry, UK is more knife crime. People are just as dead as if they were shot. Population density is low, except for the cities where most people live. The Crocodile Dundee image is nothing like the reality for the vast percentage of the population. No one sends their kids to school wondering if they will come home alive.
My parents took me overseas just before my 13th birthday. I am exceedingly grateful. I love the English countryside. The "dark, satanic mills" have been replaced by wind turbines and minarets. London, aka Londonistan, is far from safe. The Muslim mayor tells people terrorism is just part of life now. Christians have been arrested for preaching on the streets.
I'm not sure what kind of training equips people for living in England now. Learning Arabic might come in handy.

You omitted the Irukandji Jellyfish, more dangerous than any other. And how many people die from interaction with wildlife? Not nearly as many as get drunk, swim and drown. Do your research and take warnings seriously. If the sign says "Crocodiles in this area", believe it. Don't wade out in the water to check. And learn to swim. Drowning is the leading cause of tourist deaths.
As many people die from testing a 9 volt battery with their tongue as from Funnel Web bites. There is no antidote for 9 volt battery shocks.

Most problems I see in western countries are due to poor distribution of wealth. I do think there are concerns that Faith is not part of the decision making in the country. From what I have seen most people who come from overseas become westernised within a couple of generations. The richer educated folks focus on development. The poor try surviving. With the work obsessed culture you get those who become isolates and groomed.
Most people who visit Australia love it. The natives seem to still be an underclass.

Ive been to australia lots of times
I think the most dangerous thing there is
drunken aussies - though generally they are friendly drunks rather than violent drunks that you seem to get in nz
jellyfish
racist attitudes, particularly toward indigenous peoples and non-white people, though its not as bad as it used to be, still some of it is totally shocking what happened in their past and many are obliviously blind to their own attitudes
bushfires
Because its such a big country, and much of its desert in the interior, most people live on the coast. If you are in the outback you've got to learn how to survive on bush tucker...by catching kangaroos and grubs
oh and watch out for dingoes.
Australians are not as religious as other nations. The main religion is sport. They are more loyal and faithful to their sporting prowess than any other god.
Also, you cant understand australians half the time because of their funny accents. They can be a crack up the way they mangle the english langauge. Its like the irish trying to say thirty third.
Otherwise its a beautiful country and people are lucky to live there.
