From Hate to Violence: A National CSG Assessment of Antisemitism and Security Threats in Australia in 2025
In 2025, antisemitism in Australia evolved beyond social hostility and isolated hate incidents into a sustained, multisource security threat affecting the Jewish community across the country. This escalation culminated in the most lethal terrorist attack in Australia’s history: the murder of Jewish community members and others gathered at Bondi Beach during a Chanukah celebration.
This report analyses antisemitic incidents recorded by Community Security Groups across Australia, not only as acts of hate, but as indicators of a broader and deteriorating threat environment. The data demonstrates a convergence between ideological extremism, criminal activity, foreign influence and targeted hostility towards Jewish people, institutions and communal life.
CSG recorded 1276 antisemitic incidents in Australia in 2025. This represents a 22% increase in antisemitic incidents compared to the 1045 incidents recorded in 2024. Once again, this constitutes the highest number of antisemitic incidents ever recorded by CSG in a calendar year, following an 88% increase in 2023 and a 26% increase in 2024. This sustained escalation reflects a fundamental deterioration in the security environment facing the Australian Jewish community since 2023.
