The state coroner has identified critical failures in the psychiatric treatment Joel Cauchi received before he killed six people in a 2024 stabbing attack at Bondi Junction. In a formal findings report, the coroner recommended sweeping changes to the New South Wales mental health system and referred Cauchi's former psychiatrist to a professional board for review. The report also scrutinized security protocols and the emergency response during the crisis to determine how such incidents might be prevented in the future.
