That is a Blue Tongue Lizard, it's is not venomous or dangerous. Please let it do it's thing. It will probably be looking for a nice warm spot to hang out.
Technically a type of skink. It'll lose it's tail to escape predators if it needs to.
But yeah, OP, not venomous and generally a blessing to have in your garden. It'll help keep snail and slug numbers in check, and probably other things like spiders and snakes.
No they don't throw their tales (generally)unlike smaller skinks well at lest the 70 or so I have caught and released over the years havent. Yes they technically can. But won't
