The back and sides are light grey to brown, with an irregular pattern of close-set darker saddles and blotches along with many dark (sometimes light) spots, and a dark stripe from under the eye to the pectoral fin origins. The fins do not have sharply lighter margins. The underside is cream-coloured, with some mottling on the fins and often a dark stripe running down the middle in adults. The maximum known length is 1.5 m (4 ft 11 in), though few exceed 1.0 m (3 ft 3 in).

Australian swellsharks present within a given region tend to remain there year-round, frequenting established feeding areas or preferred habitats. On the other hand, a minority of sharks have been recorded covering distances of up to 300 km (190 mi). This extremely hardy species can survive for more than a day out of water.
