In response to the unpre­ced­en­ted chal­lenges caused by the global pandemic, the communal lead­er­ship has activated the NSW Jewish Emergency Plan – a set of measures designed to protect our community and our way of life. A critical part of this is the estab­lish­ment of an Emergency Oper­a­tions Centre (EOC) to coordin­ate the provision of essential services to community members.

Members of the community requiring support, including obtaining household items, medicines and access to mental health services, should call 1300 JEMP AU (1300 536 728).

It is essential to make this support available to our needy and vul­ner­able. Kindly help share this message through­out the community, par­tic­u­larly to those living alone, the elderly and anyone requiring special assist­ance.

24/7 JEMP NSW Emergency Oper­a­tions Centre: 1300 JEMP AU (1300 536 728).

Further inform­a­tion about our community’s response can be found at www.csgnsw.org.au/alerts.

The NSW Jewish Emergency Man­age­ment Plan (JEMP) is funded through the Jewish Communal Appeal (JCA) and is a co-ordinated response by the Executive Council of Aus­trali­an Jewry (ECAJ), the NSW Jewish Board of Deputies, the Council for Jewish Community Security (NSW) and the NSW Community Security Group (CSG).
