A NSW Police officer has received international recognition this week for her bravery during the Westfield Bondi Junction stabbing incident in April 2024.
The International Association of Women Police awarded Detective Inspector Amy Scott, who is attached to Eastern Suburbs Police Area Command, with a Bravery Award.
Inspector Scott was one of eight officers from around the world to be recognised for their extraordinary work at a ceremony in Bali, Indonesia, on Sunday (20 September 2026).
The association selected the recipients as examples of "the very best in law enforcement" for their bravery, professionalism and dedication.
Detective Inspector Amy Scott was recognised for her extraordinary courage and decisive action in response to a mass-stabbing incident at Westfield Bondi Junction on 13 April 2024, where six people died and 16 people were injured.
Detective Inspector Scott said receiving a Bravery Award from the International Association of Women Police was an incredible honour.
"While I am deeply grateful for this recognition, I know that bravery is never an individual achievement," Detective Inspector Scott said.
"I am fortunate to work alongside an exceptional team who support, challenge and inspire me every day.
"Their dedication, courage and commitment make a lasting difference.
"I am immensely proud of my team and grateful for the opportunity to serve alongside such remarkable people."
