In 2018, Jane (Queensland’s Forced Adoption Support Service at that time) worked with South Australia’s Forced Adoption Support Service (both funded by the Department of Social Services) and former Prime Minister Julia Gillard to produce a special video message to commemorate the 5th Anniversary of the Australian Government’s Apology for past forced adoption policies and practices.

The lifelong impacts of being adopted
In November 2022, in her capacity of former Team Leader for Queensland’s state funded adoption support service, Jane joined Dara Read (adoptee and children’s author) on the ABC’s Radio National to discuss the lifelong impacts of being adopted and to highlight the 10th anniversary of the Queensland Government’s apology for past adoption policies and practices.
