Today is an official day of remembrance for the victims of the Bondi attack, the state and federal governments announced.
Australians have been invited to light a candle at 6.47pm, exactly a week since shots rang out at Bondi Beach.
A minute’s silence will be observed at the same time, including across television and radio broadcasts.

Flags are flying at half-mast. Tonight, buildings will be lit in yellow and beams of light projected from Bondi pavilion in tribute to the 15 people who died in the attack.
“The National Day of Reflection will be observed on the final day of Chanukah, a time traditionally associated with light, faith and resilience, making the loss felt by the Jewish community even more profound,” the prime minister’s department said in a statement.
