One of my dogs was hit in the shoulder by a brown snake. So probably dry bitten or something like that. I was happy he was not poisoned.

I've been within a foot or closer probably a dozen times, usually a brown, once or twice a Red Bellied Black. Never struck yet. Fingers crossed for the future.

I thought our snakes, the brown in particular had long fangs and internal venom injectors? A comparison between the Browns and the American rattlesnake, where the difference in how venom was injected was highlighted. I will have to research it to clarify.

My mother was once chased by a snake. I have had one slide towards me, it had its head blown off by a shotgun very quickly so I don't know it's true intentions. Usually my extreme immediate panic has me keeping away in huge jumps fearing the snake is chasing me. Or there are a dozen snakes everywhere !!! I creep back to find the brown still curled by the fence, then sliding to hide in some hole.

The snake that you are worried is hiding in the grass after surprising it. It might be, or is already a hundred metres away, as I found out once.
