The Eastern Australian sawshark is found on offshore [[continental shelf|continental]] slopes. It is a large stocky sawshark with a moderately long, narrow rostral saw. The [[barbel]]s are closer to the rostral tip than the mouth. There are 20 to 25 large lateral sawteeth, 11 to 15 before the barbels, 9 to 10 behind.

Coloration is plain grey-brown above, with no spots or bars, and white below. The [[rostrum]] has darker brownish stripes along the midline and on the edges.

Its reproduction is presumed to be [[ovoviviparous]].
