Official Media Release/Tuesday, 13 January 2026
In just over 24 hours, a fundraiser for Detective Inspector Amy Scott has raised more than $350,000.
The generosity of our community is tremendous and a measure of the enormous regard in which Amy is held by the public of NSW.
On behalf of the NSW Government, I cannot thank everyone who has donated enough. So far more than 6,000 people have joined the effort to support Amy and her family.
Yesterday, it was announced that Amy is battling a rare and aggressive form of breast cancer.
This is devastating news for her, her family and her colleagues at the Eastern Suburbs Police Area Command and the whole NSW Police family.
Amy is the epitome of the brilliance of the NSW Police Force.
Her bravery at Bondi Junction in 2024 is forever stamped in our minds. She put her life on the line and in doing so saved countless others.
Amy is supported by the entire NSW Police family who are rallying around her as she faces this challenging health battle.
We wish her every strength in the months ahead.
Anyone who wants to show their gratitude for Amy’s extraordinary service and join this outpouring of public support, can support the appeal, facilitated by NSW Police Legacy, here.
