I live acreage on the outskirts of Brisbane. We see these snakes semi regularly. Its a fairly low risk. Something like 70/80% of bites happen when someone is trying to catch/kill the snake. Browns and Taipans are the ones I'm afraid of, the rest are unlikely to kill you.
What we do is keep compression bandages ready. Other than anti-venom, which I believe is expensive and has a 5 year shelf life if refrigerated, this is the next best thing you can do. I know of some people at very remote properties keep antivenom but they are many hours from a hospital.

Here's a naughty python I had to get out of the chicken coop 2 weeks ago: https://photos.app.goo.gl/FS1oVoxdW4hXTnsx1
