In short:

The state government has set up a support service hub to assist those affected by the Bondi Beach terrorist attack.

The Bondi Hub will be open to those directly or indirectly impacted by the December 14 shooting to access emergency care and counselling.

What's next?

The hub will be in place until at least the end of January, with the option to extend if necessary.

The state government has set up a support service hub in the heart of Bondi to assist those affected by the terrorist attack earlier this month.

The Bondi Hub will be open to the eastern suburbs community and those directly or indirectly impacted by the December 14 shooting at the Chanukah by the Sea event at Bondi Beach, where 15 people were killed.

"You can get access to emergency care, emergency counselling, or financial help and advice in this most difficult of times," NSW Premier Chris Minns said.

The hub is located at the Bondi Pavillion. (ABC News: Patrick Thomas)

From the over 50 people who attended hospital with injuries, to the 123 paramedics and multiple surf lifesavers on site, and also local residents, Mr Minns anticipated that hundreds would attend the hub.

"It's a safe place for you to come and speak to someone to get urgent help during a difficult time … this is a traumatic event for this community,"

he said.

Mr Minns acknowledged the site location for the hub at the Bondi Pavilion "might be confronting for some members of the community".

Hub to be a place of 'connection'

Chabad of Bondi director Rabbi Yehoram Ulman visited the hub on Monday morning to bless the site and make sure it operated in a kosher way, in a bid to further show support towards the Jewish community.

The Jewish Board of Deputies also oversaw the establishing of the hub.
