The father of a 28-year-old Australian woman injured in the Sri Lankan Easter Sunday terror attacks said he just wants to bring his daughter home to Melbourne as soon as possible.

The Melbourne-resident had been in Sri Lanka for a month and was in the last three days of her holiday when the blast hit the Kingsbury Hotel, where she was staying.

She suffered a broken leg and shrapnel wounds throughout her body, including in her lungs.
