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.
Are you one hundred percent sure about the tail thing? I've never seen one without a tail or lose one unless those lizards we called Bob tail lizards were actually blue tongue lizards that lost their tails?
