Advocacy from Dor’s Guardians, alongside leaders across sectors and communities nationwide, contributed to the growing momentum that led to the establishment of the Royal Commission into Antisemitism and Social Cohesion, announced on 15 January 2026.

Central to this was our Chair, Josh Frydenberg, whose visit to Bondi and powerful, deeply moving address became a defining moment in that momentum. Capturing both the nation's grief and its resolve, his words helped galvanise calls for the urgent action needed to prevent future tragedy.

“The massacre at Bondi is the greatest stain on our nation. I’m here to mourn but I’m also here to warn. Unless our governments, Federal and State, take urgent, unprecedented and strong action, as night follows day, we will be back grieving the loss of innocent life in another terrorist attack in our country.”

The Hon. Josh Frydenberg,
Bondi, 17 December 2025

Dor is working together with peak Jewish communal organisations on a coordinated response to the Royal Commission. We continue to make submissions to the Commission, providing evidence to help shape its findings.

Dor is also facilitating a joint community initiative: ShareYourStory, an initiative ensuring every Australian has the tools and confidence to contribute to this historic process, regardless of how significant their experience may feel.
