The 32-year-old woman was rushed to the Flinders Medical Centre near Adelaide by emergency services just after 1:00 p.m. local time Friday. Police evacuated swimmers from the ocean at Port Noarlunga Jetty to search for the shark, South Australia police said in a news statement, but were not able to locate it.
There have been more than 1,100 individual investigations of shark bites in Australia since 1791, according to the Australian Shark Incident Database.
