Our hearts go out to the Jewish community following the tragic events in Bondi. At Ethnic Community Services (ECS), we have always upheld human rights principles and believe that everyone deserves the right to practice their faith and culture in safety.
Our multicultural aged care programmes began in Eastern Sydney in 2002, and for over two decades we have worked closely with the elderly Jewish community. Today, we stand united with them in grief and reaffirm our commitment to peace and unity.
We also acknowledge that moments like this can create deep fear and anxiety across many multicultural communities, particularly for Muslim communities who too often experience increased scrutiny and harm in the aftermath of violence. ECS rejects all forms of collective blame and calls for compassion, solidarity, and understanding rather than fear and division.
Together, let us continue to build communities where diversity is celebrated, and every person feels safe, respected, and valued.
