The conservation status of Heterodontus marshallae has not been assessed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). However, it is likely to face low levels of threat from fishing activities due to its deep-water habitat and limited distribution. It may also benefit from some protection within marine parks and reserves in its range. The species was identified as a high priority knowledge gap for Australian sharks and rays in the Action Plan for Australian Sharks and Rays 2021.<ref name=":0" /> More research is needed to determine its population size, distribution, life history and ecology. | The conservation status of Heterodontus marshallae has not been assessed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
