Here's what you need to know this morning.
Flooding in parts of NSW could worsen this week
A low pressure trough that's predicted to move across NSW over the coming days could worsen current flood events, the Bureau of Meteorology says.
The trough that's moving across from the west is set to bring widespread showers and thunderstorms to much of the state, including the flood-afflicted Central West region.
The heaviest falls are predicted to arrive on Tuesday.
Senior forecaster Jake Phillips says the region between Dubbo and Wagga Wagga could see some significant falls.
"Catchments through a lot of areas are very wet and that means that rain that's falling is not soaking in in a lot of areas, it's just running straight off," he said.
"That's going to exacerbate the flooding issues we already have when we get this further rain coming in the next couple of days."
The State Emergency Service answered 112 calls for assistance during heavy rain this weekend.
Inquest into missing fraudster resumes
A coronial inquest is due to resume today into the disappearance of accused Sydney fraudster, Melissa Caddick.
The 49-year-old vanished from her eastern suburbs home in November 2020 after ASIC started to investigate allegations she defrauded investors of up to $30 million.
Three months later, a running shoe containing Ms Caddick's decomposing foot washed up on a south coast beach.
The inquest which started earlier this month has been told an autopsy was unable to determine if the foot was separated as a result of blunt force, sharp force, or decomposition.
It was also told that CCTV footage was not collected or adequately reviewed in the early stages, with a full crime scene investigation not conducted until 19 days after her death.
In footage shown to the inquest of the raid at her home, from the day before she disappeared, Ms Caddick could be heard talking for the first time to police about her high-end jewellery collection.
The inquest is before Deputy State Coroner Elizabeth Ryan.
Young doctors overworked
A new survey by the Australian Medical Association has found almost half of trainee doctors in NSW hospitals are so overworked that they've made medical mistakes.
The latest Hospital Health Check survey found 46 per cent of junior doctors reported making a fatigue-induced error at work.
It found long hours and under-staffing are an ongoing problem in the state's hospitals, with almost three-quarters of doctors working more than five hours of un-rostered overtime in an average fortnight.
Of all respondents, 37 per cent said they'd experienced bullying at work with senior colleagues the most likely source.
More than half, 56 per cent, said they were concern for their personal safety due to fatigue, and 25 per cent reported experiencing discrimination.
MP returns after tumour surgery
NSW deputy Labor leader Prue Car has returned from sick leave after having a large tumour removed from her kidney.
Ms Car has had two months sick leave to deal with the tumour.
In a statement issued this morning, Ms Car said the tumour ended up being so aggressive that it was double the predicted size.
"I am deeply grateful to the medical professionals, who ably and tirelessly supported me throughout my treatment and recovery."
With just six months until the NSW election, Ms Car said she is looking forward to working hard as the Member for Londonderry and deputy Labor leader.
"I am delighted I will now be back out and about in my beloved Western Sydney community, who have shown me such humbling love and support over the past few months," Ms Car said.
Mental health support for students
The NSW government has tasked child health researchers with assessing the wellbeing of primary school students and proposing a suite of new social and wellbeing initiatives.
Premier Dominic Perrottet says the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute will investigate the best ways to help students who have been impacted by the last two years of the pandemic.
"That hasn't just had an impact on academic development it's also had an impact on social an mental health issues for our kids," he said.
"We know by the end of the year one in seven children will have mental health issues and by the age of 14 half our children will have mental health challenges."
Education Minister Sarah Mitchell said the government wanted to get evidence-based research to understand what children were going through.
"None of us have ever lived through a global pandemic before, we don't really know what some of those long time impacts might be, particularly around wellbeing, social and mental health," she said.
School behaviour monitor
The NSW government has announced it will appoint a special advisor to improve behaviour in public and private schools.
It comes after a group chat run by students from one of Sydney's most exclusive schools was referred to police.
Earlier this month, material from a group chat run by students of Knox Grammar School, on the north shore, was referred to police due to the "unacceptable" nature of the messages, according to the school's headmaster.
Several students from the elite school were suspended or expelled over the messages, some of which were racist, misogynistic or anti-Semitic.
To counter that, the Department of Education announced the creation of a Chief Behaviour Advisor role.
The role will aim to help teachers across government, independent and Catholic schools, deal with disruptive students.
A global search for the person to fill the role will commence in October, with the appointment to be confirmed by the start of the 2023 school year.
