WE NEED YOUR HELP...

Since October 7, the Jewish community has faced a heartbreaking and alarming surge in antisemitism — on the streets and online. The threat is real, and the need to strengthen and protect our community has never been more urgent.

At CSG, our mission is clear: to protect Jewish life and Jewish way of life. But we cannot do it alone, we need your help!

Every day, CSG empowers our community with the tools to stay safe — from situational awareness and self-defence to leadership training. We run free programs across Jewish day schools, youth movements, synagogues, and Bar/Bat Mitzvah groups, helping young people face today’s challenges with strength and confidence.

Our highly trained security teams and volunteers are a visible, reassuring presence at synagogues, schools, and community events — standing as a frontline deterrent against potential threats. Behind the scenes, our 24/7 Security Operations Centre monitors over 1,000 CCTV cameras.  This advanced surveillance infrastructure enables CSG to detect, assess, and respond to incidents in real time.

Crucially, we work in close partnership with Victoria Police, ensuring coordinated responses and seamless communication that enhance the safety and protection of our community.

We continue to work on a large number of physical security projects throughout the community including bollards, boom gates and purpose-built walls and fences — all designed to withstand potential attacks and protect our most vulnerable spaces.

Through JEAP, the Jewish Emergency App developed with Hatzolah, we’ve made it easier than ever to report suspicious activity and stay connected to emergency services.

And in times of crisis — from bushfires to major incidents — our Crisis and Emergency Management team is there, guiding community leaders, coordinating responses, and helping organisations build resilience.

In 2024, we launched our first CSG-branded mobile patrol unit — a powerful symbol of our commitment to visibility, rapid response, and community engagement.

But the truth is: the demands on CSG have never been greater. To meet this moment, we need your help.
