A nine-month-old baby has been released from hospital more than a week after being wounded in a stabbing massacre at a Sydney shopping centre.
The baby is continuing to receive care from clinicians after being discharged from Sydney Children's Hospital, but has been allowed to go home, NSW Health Minister Ryan Park said on Sunday.
It comes as the community prepares to mourn the victims of Australia's worst mass killing in years with a candlelight vigil at Bondi Beach on Sunday.
Six people died and five remain in hospital after 40-year-old Joel Cauchi went on a stabbing spree at Westfield Bondi Junction in Sydney's eastern suburbs on April 13.
A crowd has begun gathering at Bondi Beach as an orchestra warms up ahead of the vigil.
Five of the six killed were women - Ashlee Good, 38, Dawn Singleton, 25, Jade Young, 47, Pikria Darchia, 55, and Yixuan Cheng, 27.
Faraz Tahir, a 30-year-old refugee who fled persecution in Pakistan, was also killed.
At least 12 others - including nine women - were taken to hospital after suffering stab wounds in the attack.
Sunday's vigil will begin with a minute's silence in honour of those whose lives were lost.
"I think if we can stand together during these difficult periods, we can send a message that there's far more good people in this city than there are bad actors and than there is evil," he said on Saturday.
Attendees are being asked to bring candles.
Counsellors and mental health first aid will be available.
Opposition Leader Peter Dutton said there was a gender-based violence crisis in Australia following the Bondi stabbing, backing calls for a royal commission examining the issue.
"There are a number of factors, and I don't think there is any one solution here, but again, I think social media has a role to play here.
"The computer games young boys are playing where violence is a very significant part of what's being enforced into their minds on a regular basis."
Agriculture Minister Murray Watt said tougher penalties on knife offences might be considered among states and territories but hosed down calls for security guards to be armed.
"We need to be careful not to overreact to these things, and we don't want to see our shopping centres become sort of armed places where people feel on edge," he told Sky News on Sunday.
A temporary floral tribute remains in place at Oxford St Mall in Bondi Junction.
A formal memorial service will be held at a later date and there are plans for a permanent memorial to honour the victims.
A major coronial inquiry will focus on NSW's mental health funding and support adequacy.
Bolstered by up to $18 million in extra funding, the inquiry will examine the police response and Cauchi's interactions with NSW and Queensland agencies.
