Anthony Albanese has written to Governor-General Sam Mostyn requesting a special honours list to commemorate heroic acts relating to the Bondi Beach terror attack.
Fronting media on Wednesday, the Prime Minister said it was important to honour those who made "extraordinary personal sacrifices in order to help their fellow Australians".
"Today, I have written to the Governor-General requesting the creation of a special honours list in response to this horrific terrorist attack, for awards to be put in place as part of the Australian honours and awards system," Mr Albanese told reporters at Parliament House.
"This would recognise those individuals nominated and recommended for a bravery or a meritorious award in response to the Bondi terrorist attack.
"The attack did show us the worst of humanity, hatred, anti-Semitism, violence.
"It also showed us the best of humanity, extraordinary acts of bravery and courage, acts of kindness for fellow Australians."These special honours lists have been used previously to recognise individuals for other significant events, like the Bali bombings and MH17, and these awards would be announced in 2026."
