An inquest into the Bondi Junction stabbings heard testimony regarding the mental health history of Joel Cauchi, the individual responsible for the attack.

Cauchi, who killed six people in the April incident, was reportedly assessed as being at a ‘significant’ risk of relapsing into psychosis upon his discharge from healthcare.

This information was presented during the inquest as evidence concerning Cauchi’s mental state prior to the attacks.

The inquest is examining the circumstances surrounding the tragedy, including Cauchi’s interactions with mental health services.

Evidence indicates Cauchi had a history of mental illness, with periods of psychotic symptoms.

The focus of the testimony centered on the level of risk associated with his discharge and the care plan proposed at the time.

The inquest aims to understand whether existing care arrangements adequately addressed his potential for relapse.

Witnesses, including medical professionals, provided insights into the assessments and treatment he received.

Details regarding the specific treatment plan devised for Cauchi’s care following his discharge were also discussed.

The inquest’s findings are expected to contribute to understanding the events and potentially inform future mental health practices.
