How can we stay safe from sharks?
And as eager water-lovers get ready to flood beaches the fear is more Australians will have close encounters with these apex predators.
But trying to allay some of the anxieties are many researchers and scientists around the country putting incredible effort into making it safe for humans and sharks to co-exist in the ocean.
Dr Nathan Hart is a world-leading animal neurologist who has extensively researched shark behaviour to discover how they think.
"It's absolutely fascinating. Imagine taking one of the most amazing, powerful predators and trying to get inside their head and understand how they see the world," he told Tom Steinfort.
But he urged ocean-goers not to think the worst of these giant sea creatures, explaining the increase in attacks is down to one simple fact - people and sharks are mixing much more than ever before.
"I don't think sharks have changed their behaviour, it's just the circumstances," Dr Hart said.
"What we don't want is people thinking that sharks are out to get humans, I think that's very far from the truth."
In recent years there's been plenty of debate about the best way to handle the danger posed by sharks, but in New South Wales, indiscriminate shark nets and catch-and-kill drum lines are now destined to become a thing of the past.
Instead, the focus will be on improving surf safety through technology and by catching and tagging sharks.
Researcher Dr Paul Butcher and his team, who have tagged over 1000 sharks, have made some amazing discoveries through their analysis.
"We now understand when they're going to be on our beaches, where they migrate, what they eat, how big their population size is. It's all combining into our beach safety programme," Dr Butcher said.
Every catch helps, with data revealing some great white sharks travel around 40,000 kilometres in a three-year period, moving all the way from Australia to Papua New Guinea, New Caledonia, and New Zealand.
"It's not ad hoc in where their movement patterns are. They've got straight lines. They know exactly where they need to move to."
While shark bites and attacks are rare and not always deliberate, they are undoubtedly traumatic for their victims.
Dave Pearson knows how horrific this experience can be; the surfer was attacked by a bull shark in 2011 at a secluded beach at Crowdy Head.
He said when we share the ocean with these predators, we all have the power to improve our safety by weighing up the risks when we enter their domain.
"I'll stand there for five minutes or so just looking at what's going on. Am I seeing any fish? Am I seeing any birds?" he said.
"I am going to be aware of what's happening while I'm out there as well, so I'm going to do everything I can in my power to limit that risk if I can."
However, with a coastline the size of Australia's and home to the three most fearsome sharks in the world, the reality is we will never be able to prevent every shark bite.

Cam Newton's daily alarm is set for 4:20 a.m. Early bird gets the worm, or something like that.
ESPN revealed a portion of Newton's routine during the Week 16 "Monday Night Football" game between the Patriots and Bills. New England and Newton lost, 38-9, and Newton was benched for Jarrett Stidham. Based on the schedule, Newton's struggles aren't for the lack of work he's put in.
Here's what ESPN showed a national audience of Newton's routine:
- 4:20 a.m.: Alarm goes off.
- 4:30 a.m.: Leave the house.
- 8 a.m.: First sip of coffee.
- 11:30 p.m.: Go to sleep.
MORE: Bill Belichick's angry phone throw becomes instant meme
Newton has done some impressive things during his career, but maybe the most astounding is waking up at 4:20 a.m. and not having a sip of coffee until 8 a.m. In all seriousness, though, Newton knows how much work he's putting in, and he acknowledged frustration postgame Monday that the results haven't followed.
"That's been my schedule for 90 percent of the time I've been here," Newton said, according to Pro Football Talk. "So you can kind of understand the frustration I do have when I don't have the outcome, because I'm sacrificing so much. [You're] talking to a person who ain't seen his kids in three months. Obviously the contract is what it is. Submitting myself to this team is something I've been doing since day one. Being accessible. Yeah, it's frustrating. It makes you mad."
Before being benched Monday night, Newton completed 5 of 10 passes for 34 yards. He also rushed four times for 24 yards and a touchdown.
Newton's removal for Stidham could mark the end of his New England tenure. He signed a one-year contract before the season to serve as competition for Stidham to be Tom Brady's replacement. But after looking revitalized early in the year, Newton fell into his 2019 struggles once again. Patriots coach Bill Belichick declined to name a Week 17 starter, but it would certainly make more sense for New England to see what it has in the younger Stidham.
All that being said, Newton's daily routine won't be changing, even if his frustration level keeps mounting.
"It makes you angry knowing that to be a trusted teammate you first have to submit to authority and submit to what the coaches are asking you to do," Newton said. "I feel like I have done that. I'm not in the place of blame. I'm more or less venting right now because, yeah, I've sacrificed so much this year. I mean, it hurts when you have the outing that you have tonight, just to go home, then start it over for a whole 'nother week, yeah."

#C4C campaign is a one of a kind social media-driven initiative by Enable Lanka Foundation that's carried out with the aim of taking a different approach to sensitize and invoke awareness among the general public about the positive yet hardly seen aspects of persons with disabilities through humour.
This campaign can be recognized as an impactful social media intervention that de-marginalizes the issues and aspirations of the persons with disabilities as universally applicable ones. The perceptions of the average person towards disabilities, which often reflect sympathy and the need to relegate the rights of persons with disabilities to the level of charity and welfare, are problamatized through the comics presented through this initiative in social media.
Thank you for our amazing artists Aysha Maryam Cassim, Goabi Ramanan P and Kaishika Rodrigo for committing to this campaign
