Here's what you need to know this morning.
Police officer allegedly stabbed by teen
Three teenagers have been charged after an off-duty police officer was allegedly stabbed in Sydney's inner west overnight.
Police were told the woman stopped to help a distressed teenage girl on Alice Street in Newtown about 1:00am.
The off-duty sergeant was then confronted by a group of teenagers and allegedly stabbed in the torso.
She was taken to Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in a serious but stable condition.
Police have charged a 15-year-old Randwick boy with reckless wounding.
A 15-year-old Punchbowl boy and a 14-year-old Marrickville girl were also charged in relation to the incident with offences relating to assault and trespassing.
Thousands of refugees stranded
Diana Haddad was overjoyed when the Australian Government granted humanitarian visas to her sister, Syrian refugee Mirna, and Mirna's family.
But two weeks later, her family's chance at a new life in Sydney was suddenly put on hold indefinitely, along with 4,000 other refugees with visas who are stranded overseas amid Australia's travel ban.
"They were so excited they even had the clothes they were going to wear on the plane ready," Ms Haddad said from her home in Sydney's south-west.
"Now we don't know what's going to happen to them."
Schools closed amid COVID-19 cases
Two Sydney schools are closed today for cleaning, after students tested positive for coronavirus.
Two senior students at Kinkoppal-Rose Bay were confirmed with the illness while Lidcombe Public School is also closed.
The Rose Bay student cases were linked to the city cluster which has now infected 64 people, and the Lidcombe child's infection is under investigation.
There were ten new cases confirmed on Sunday from more than 38,000 tests.
Women arrested with 2,121 oysters
Two women have been charged after allegedly being caught with thousands of illegal oysters.
The Hurstville women illegally retrieved 2,121 oysters from waters in Georges River in Sydney in June, police alleged.
The Georges River is one of many Sydney waterways closed to shellfish collection as authorities work to preserve fish stocks.
They face several charges.
New endangered chicks unveiled
Critically endangered Regent Honeyeater chicks have hatched at a zoo in the NSW central west in time for National Threatened Species Day.
Fewer than 400 Regent Honeyeaters are left in the wild but 10 chicks were born recently at Taronga's Western Plains Zoo.
Zookeeper Kara Stevens says the breeding program is playing a significant role in ensuring the species' survival.
"It is so exciting, it was what we worked so hard for, and to hear the chicks for the first time was just the most exhilarating experience," she said.
"We are just so excited to have them here."
