"Our team came down and caught it," Rob Townsend, with the nearby Manly Sea Life Sanctuary, told the Herald.
"We put it in the pool to monitor it without waves. We're just watching her condition."
The shark entertained onlookers for most of the day Monday, before rescuers moved it to the sanctuary later that evening.
