Bondi hero Inspector Amy Scott beats breast cancer after year of treatment

Inspector Amy Scott, the Bondi Junction stabbing hero, is now cancer-free after a year fighting breast cancer.

Inspector Amy Scott, the police officer credited as a hero during the Bondi Junction stabbing attack, has beaten breast cancer. Scott is cancer-free as of three weeks ago after spending the past year in treatment.

Amy Scott was diagnosed with cancer during a difficult period. The cancer diagnosis followed the 2024 Bondi incident, when she was still recovering from PTSD.

During treatment, Scott spent time in ICU after developing an infection and having a reaction to chemotherapy. She kept the battle private to protect her young sons, aged four and five.

Scott said the cancer diagnosis gave her a deeper understanding of what bravery really meant. She is now speaking publicly about her recovery, hoping her experience helps others.
