Stories of impact

Tim’s
Story

“I had nowhere to go. Jewish House gave me somewhere to start.”

Tim came to Jewish House with no housing, no support network, and nowhere to turn. Over the following months, the Jewish House team helped him find stable accommodation, access mental health support, and begin rebuilding his life.

After the Bondi Attack

“Jewish House was on the frontline within hours.”


When fifteen people were killed and dozens injured at Bondi Beach on 14 December 2025, Jewish House mobilised crisis support, mental health access, and practical assistance within hours — distributing over $2 million in relief and establishing the Unbreakable resilience program within weeks.

The Inner West Project

“50 new rooms. 50 more people with somewhere safe to sleep.”

In November 2025, Jewish House opened 50 rooms for men experiencing homelessness as part of the Inner West Project — the southern hemisphere's largest meanwhile-use housing initiative. Each room represents a person who would otherwise have been sleeping rough.

Bondi beach attack response

On 14 December 2025, a terrorist attack targeted a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach.

It was the deadliest attack on the community in Australian history, and the worst mass shooting in Australia since 1996.
Fifteen lives were lost. Forty people were injured.

Jewish House was on the frontline within hours.

Jewish House worked alongside the federal and state government, clinicians, and community organisations to coordinate mental health responses, practical assistance, and emergency care for victims, families, and the wider community.

Within weeks, a dedicated support team had been built from the ground up.
The Unbreakable resilience program launched in parallel – a long-term program designed to support individuals and families affected by the attack as they move through recovery.

The Royal Commission is ongoing. The work continues.
