About the inquest

The Bondi Junction Inquest will relate to the deaths of seven people during the incident that occurred at Westfield Shopping Centre, Bondi Junction on 13 April 2024. 

The NSW State Coroner, Magistrate Teresa O’Sullivan, will be assisted by a team of solicitors from the NSW Crown Solicitor’s Office and barristers known as Counsel Assisting (collectively, the team assisting). 

The State Coroner’s role is to establish in relation to each person:

• Who died;

• When and where they died;

• The cause of death; and

• The manner of death (which means the circumstances surrounding the death).

If the State Coroner considers it necessary or desirable to do so, her Honour may also make recommendations in relation to any matter connected with the death. For example, recommendations may be made in relation to public health and safety.
