I just killed 2 of these inside my house. I just want to know if this type of spider is venomous. I live in Sydney, Australia by the way. Thank you!

There are Australian spiders in several families that can have a similar appearance. The only one that would appear to be of any concern is the family Lamponidae, which includes the white-tail spider, as that spider is reported to have a very painful bite. See https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8527/8487510260_2da939dea2_b.jpg for an example.
