The NSW State Coroner launched an investigation into the deaths of six people at the Westfield Shopping Center in Bondi Junction earlier this year.
A directions hearing, prior to a full inquest, will take place on Tuesday, November 12 at 9:30 am.
NSW coroner Teresa O’Sullivan will determine the details surrounding the deaths of the seven people at the Westfield Shopping Center in Bondi Junction on April 13, 2024.
Joel Cauchi, 40, killed six people and injured several more before he was shot dead by a lone police officer.
Cauchi entered the mall around 3:20 p.m. armed with a knife and began randomly stabbing people, including five women and a man, all of whom later died.
NSW Police Inspector Amy Scott, who was at the mall when the attack occurred, was first on the scene and followed Cauchi before ordering him to drop his weapon. When he turned and raised his knife, the officer shot him dead.
As the incident unfolded in the Bondi Junction shopping centre, crowds of people huddled in shops in panic.
Six people died as a result of the stabbing: Cheng Yixuan, 27, Pikria Darchia, 55, Dawn Singleton, 25, Jade Young, 47, Faraz Ahmed Tahir, 30, and Ashlee Good, 38.

Ms Good’s nine-month-old daughter, who was in her pram at the time of the attack, was also stabbed by Mr Cauchi.
The mother handed her injured baby to two strangers as she lay seriously injured. The baby underwent emergency surgery and survived the attack.
