Two women have died after they were washed off rocks into the ocean in Sydney’s south.

Emergency services were called to Cape Solander at Kurnell in the Sutherland Shire about 4:30pm on Monday, following reports three women had been swept into the water.

One woman was able to climb onto rocks and was helped by members of the public back onto the shore.

NSW Police with assistance from PolAir searched the ocean for the other two women.

They were both found unconscious in the water and pulled from the ocean.

Paramedics and a Toll Helicopter doctor treated the women at the scene but they were unable to be revived.

Police have launched an investigation into the matter, but no suspicious circumstances have been identified in relation to the deaths.

The women are yet to be formally identified.

A report will be prepared for the coroner.

It comes a month after two fishermen drowned after also being swept off the rocks around the same area in Kurnell.

The pair were later identified as Nepalese nationals aged in their 20s.
