Fearless Outreach stands in solidarity with the victims, families, and all those affected by the tragic events at Bondi Beach on the evening of Sunday 14th December 2025. We extend our deepest condolences to those who have lost loved ones and heartfelt wishes for recovery to those injured. This senseless act has shattered the peace of our community, leaving many in shock, grief, and distress.
We also want to recognise that the impact of such horrific violence reaches far beyond those directly involved. Many in our community may be experiencing symptoms of post-traumatic stress, anxiety, or emotional turmoil. These reactions are normal and completely understandable in the wake of such trauma.
Support and Self-Care
If you are struggling, please know you are not alone. NSW Health has deployed disaster mental health clinicians at Bondi Beach, and support is also available via:
- the NSW Mental Health Line (1800 011 511),
- Lifeline (13 11 14),
- Kids Helpline (1800 55 1800), and
- Beyond Blue (1300 22 46 36).
Victims and their families can also access counselling and financial assistance through the Victims Support Scheme (1800 411 822).
We also encourage people to engage in some self-care activities that may assist as they navigate this period:
- Acknowledge your feelings:Allow yourself to feel and express emotions—fear, sadness, anger, or confusion. Journaling or talking to trusted friends may help.
- Create a safe space:Find comfort in familiar environments and surround yourself with supportive people.
- Prioritise nourishing activities:Engage in activities that nurture your mind and body, such as gentle exercise, mindfulness, meditation, or creative expression. Even small acts of self-kindness may help restore a sense of control and peace.
Above all, if distress persists, reach out to mental health professionals. Early support can significantly improve recovery.
