Events of serious harm can have a profound effect not only on those who were directly involved, but also on witnesses, families, first responders, local communities, and people across Australia watching or hearing about what has happened. When something frightening occurs in a familiar public place, it can strongly affect our sense of safety. If you require additional supports at this time, assistance is available.
