Amy Scott

Amy Scott is a New South Wales police officer who is notable for her courageous actions during the Bondi Junction stabbing attack in April 2024. She confronted Joel Cauchi, the perpetrator of the attack, alone at the Westfield shopping centre. Recently, Scott has been diagnosed with a 'rare and aggressive' form of breast cancer. This diagnosis has brought her back into the news, with significant public support and fundraising efforts underway to assist with her treatment. Her bravery during the Bondi Junction attack, combined with her current health challenges, makes her a figure of public interest and sympathy. The Bondi Junction attack itself is also in the news as the coroner's report has been released, finding failings in the psychiatric care provided to Joel Cauchi before the attack.
