The adult male frog is 29 to 37 mm long from nose to rear end and the adult female frog is 33 to 44 mm.[5] These frogs have yellow colouring where their front legs meet their bodies.[2]

They live in eucalyptus forests, other forests, and on plants near streams.[2] They also live on sandy dunes and lagoons near the ocean.[3]

Unlike other frogs that live in New South Wales, Jervis Bay tree frogs like to lay eggs in the cold parts of the year.[6] They lay eggs in on underwater sticks. They take 12 weeks to transform into frogs.[2]
