Hi, welcome to Spider ID. 🙂 This is a Badumna sp., looks like it should be a Black House Spider, Badumna insignis . There’s a bunch of species in the genus in Australia that aren’t yet represented online though, I’m not sure how similar they are.

Wow! Thanks for the quick ID!
After reading, it seems it’s a spider to be not too afraid of. I’ll let it hang out in the bathtub until tomorrow when I let it outside 🙂
