Family members of victims of the Bondi Beach shooting attack have fronted Parliament House, after an invitation extended by the Albanese government.

It was an emotional day for those who attended, but there has been some frustration from members of the Jewish community who were seemingly denied a meeting with the prime minister.

Jenny Roytur's uncle, Boris Tetleroyd, was one of the 15 killed when gunmen opened fire on the Chanukah By The Sea event at the iconic Sydney beach on December 14, but she told Today the meeting in Canberra yesterday "didn't go as planned".

"The itinerary was for family members to have a meeting with the prime minister, that didn't happen," Jenny said.

"I believe there was only a couple of family members, maybe four, that attended that meeting and the rest of us were excluded, despite us making that trip."

Jenny noted in the days following the terror attack, her family declined a visit from Albanese in the hospital ICU, as they didn't think it was appropriate at the time.

However, she now questioned whether or not that decision played a role in her family missing out on meeting the PM yesterday.

New gun reform legislation has been introduced in parliament this morning, but Jenny said more is needed to meet the requests of the victims and their families.

"First of all, I would raise the fact that a federal compensation scheme is required to go directly to the families, I've said it before, what's currently happening is not good enough," she said.

"People's lives were completely shattered, I'd also want our community and those that were affected to be consulted about the bill and what it means.

"At the end of the day, the prime minister and the parliament are there for the people and they need to protect everyday Australians, including our community."
