NSW Opens Bondi Community Hub to Support Attack Survivors

Police have boosted security around the center to rebuild confidence after the December 14 attack.

Overview

  • The support hub at the Bondi Pavilion offers emergency care, counselling and financial advice to people directly or indirectly affected, including victims, paramedics, surf lifesavers and local residents.
  • Officials say the service will operate until at least the end of January with the option to extend if demand continues.
  • Premier Chris Minns said hundreds are expected to seek help and emphasized that the location near the attack site may be confronting for some visitors.
  • Those unable or uncomfortable to attend can request outreach at home or another meeting place, with all services coordinated through the hub.
  • Jewish community groups helped establish the site, Rabbi Yehoram Ulman blessed the hub, and kosher provisions are available as part of culturally sensitive support.
