The inquiry aims to investigate the causes behind the increasing prevalence and severity of antisemitic incidents across the state, including on university campuses and in schools, and to assess the threat these pose to social cohesion . The committee is also examining ways to enhance the safety of the Jewish community in New South Wales, including improving security measures around synagogues and other places of worship . The inquiry is scheduled to report its findings by 1 September 2025.
