Statement: National Day of Mourning for the victims of the Bondi Beach terrorist attack
RMIT University will honour the victims of the Bondi Beach terrorist attack by flying all flags on campus at half-mast on Thursday 22 January 2026 as part of the National Day of Mourning.
The RMIT community is encouraged to reflect on how best to honour the Bondi victims in a way that is meaningful to them.
RMIT University Vice-Chancellor and President Professor Alec Cameron said: "Honouring the victims is an important step in supporting all parts of our diverse community. Our thoughts continue to be with the Jewish community, within RMIT and beyond, and those personally impacted by this tragedy."
At RMIT, we are proud of our multi-cultural and multi-faith community. We are committed to creating a safe, respectful and inclusive environment for all members of our community.
We understand that this may be a difficult time for many. The RMIT community can confidentially raise any issues or concerns and access support via our Safer Community team.
