Tick ID from Sydney Australia

Hello!

recently found this tick on my daughter’s back. promptly froze it off. For size, it’s about the size of a chia seed.

Of course I’m worried about the paralysis ticks, but its jaws seem too short for that?

first picture is prior to removal. second is after being frozen for two days, sorry for the blurriness of both.

Thanks!
