I've been bitten by a redback, it's a tad over rated as a deadly spider. Unless you have a severe medical condition and elderly or very young the bite hurts in a burny fashion for a while along the limb then you may feel a little warm and feverish during the night then that's it. I felt immediate burny pain in the arm and then nothing but irritation in the bite site which ice helped appease the situation.
funnel webs are a different kettle of fish however.
If bitten by a funnel web you treat it the same way as a snake bite. then get medical attention straight away.
