The Victorian Jewish Community Wellbeing Grant, part of a broader Bondi Beach Support initiative, responds to the impacts of the Bondi Beach attack and antisemitism on the Victorian Jewish community. It is based on active engagement and meaningful dialogue between SEMPHN and Victorian Jewish community organisations facilitated by Impact Co. 

The grant funds activities that will make practical improvements to the wellbeing, safety and resilience of the Victorian Jewish community, improvements that, over time, contribute to: 

  • longer-term outcomes, including stronger feelings of cultural, emotional and social wellbeing 
  • better awareness and coordination of wellbeing responses 
  • greater confidence in help-seeking 
  • lasting psychological and physical safety. 

PHNs are committed to the fundamental principle of health equity.  

We recognise that the impacts of the Bondi Beach attack have been felt across communities, beyond any one nationality, faith or cultural group.
