Adults and children impacted by the Bondi incident of December 2025 and living in South Eastern NSW now have access to free, culturally responsive professional psychological support. 

The Australian Government is committed to supporting everyone experiencing grief and trauma following both the Bondi terrorist attack and, more broadly, the experiences identified in the ongoing Royal Commission on Antisemitism and Social Cohesion. 

COORDINARE - South Eastern NSW PHN has commissioned, on behalf of the Australian Government, five mental health clinicians with Jewish cultural competency to offer in-person and telehealth counselling in the Illawarra Shoalhaven and Southern NSW.  

Appointments are available in person in Wollongong, Shellharbour, Nowra, Goulburn and Sutherland, acknowledging that some Jewish community members live in the northern suburbs of Wollongong and may prefer to make an appointment with a counsellor in Sutherland. 

This psychological support is available at no cost and people can self-refer. It does not require a Medicare card or a GP referral. 

All support provided is culturally appropriate and tailored to children’s and adults need and some clinicians can offer counselling in Hebrew.
