CLOSED: What kind of spider is this?

Perth, Australia

Hello all,
This spider was already dead when I found it in my back yard. It is not very big, the body maybe is 1cm long. It looks like it has some powerful fangs though so I'm worried it is dangerous. We live in Perth greater area in WA.
I would really appreciate it if you could have a look and tell me what spider this is.
Thank you so much

Very difficult to tell from this image; one possibility is that it might be a juvenile huntsman spider (family Sparassidae). At any rate, it does not seem to resemble any of the medically significant spiders found in Australia...

Thank you for your reply Flapdoodle. It's good to know what it is and it's reassuring that it is not dangerous to humains. Much appreciated
