In response to the tragic Bondi Beach attack, the NSW Government has established an online condolence book for people across NSW to share messages of sympathy and support. Members of the Southern Highlands community are invited to add their messages via the NSW Government website:  

https://www.nsw.gov.au/nsw-government/bondi-beach-attack  

For residents without access to online services, a physical condolence book is available at the Moss Vale Civic Centre during business hours. 

While this tragic event occurred in Sydney, its impact is being felt across our Southern Highlands community. Now more than ever, we draw on the compassion, care and resilience that define our community and our state. We stand in solidarity with all those affected and against acts of violence and hate, which have no place in NSW. 

Support is available 24/7 through the NSW Mental Health Line (1800 011 511), Lifeline (13 11 14) and Beyond Blue (1300 22 4636) for anyone experiencing distress. 

Together, we support one another and remain united during this difficult time.
