On 22 January , Australia will observe a National Day of Mourning to honour the victims and all those impacted by the Bondi Beach attack. At 7:01pm AEDT , we invite our community to pause for a minute of silence as a mark of respect and remembrance. You may also wish to observe the day in a personal way — by lighting a candle at home, coming together with loved ones over a shared meal, or undertaking a simple act of kindness. For those who would like to share a message of condolence, the official online condolence book is available. Our thoughts are with everyone affected during this difficult time.
