Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan has announced an urgent package of security, mental health and anti-extremism measures to support Jewish Victorians in the wake of a targeted antisemitic terror attack that has shocked communities across Australia. The Victorian Government says it is determined to ensure Jewish families can gather, worship and celebrate Hanukkah in safety and without fear.

NSW faith leaders have united in a strong show of solidarity with the Jewish community following Sunday’s terrorist attack targeting a Chanukah event in Bondi, condemning the violence and vowing to work together to combat antisemitism and hatred across the state.
