Meet the team

Jane Hopkins is the president of PFLAG+ Brisbane, a Director of PFLAG+ Australia and the PFLAG+ National Spokesperson.

Jane lives in Brisbane but travels regularly to different parts of Australia for her work.

Whilst managing the Brisbane group, she continues to oversee the development of the newly established Australia network and is in the final stages of registering the organisation as a charitable entity.

Locally, she hosts regular group meetings for parents as well as attending many public events to raise awareness to increase visibility and promoting the acceptance of difference. Another important focus for Jane is collating easily accessible resources for parents, schools and the broader community which are critical when assisting members of the Queer community, especially in rural and remote areas across Australia.

Whilst she recognizes the importance of educating diverse sectors of the community on issues that affect our Rainbow community, she is passionate about advocacy which ensures equal human rights are maintained for all members of our society.

With a background in nursing and having raised a large family, Jane brings empathy and compassion to her role while enjoying great personal fulfillment from her work.
