Our Team

Molly Jackson - Policy and Communications Manager

I’m lucky to manage the policy and communications work here at JRS, where I get to work alongside people seeking asylum to share their stories, advocate for their rights, and help build a more welcoming and compassionate Australia.

Before coming to JRS Australia in 2023, I worked across media, law and human rights — from supporting migrant workers through the Domestic Worker Empowerment Project, to contributing to anti-slavery efforts at the Mekong Club, and editing the Griffith Journal of Law and Human Dignity.

I also spent time in commercial legal practice before joining Amnesty International Australia’s legal team, and later worked in Public Affairs at the Canadian High Commission in Canberra, focusing on refugee policy, climate justice and gender equality.

At the heart of my work is a deep belief in the power of stories — to connect, to heal, and to drive courageous collective action. I’m constantly inspired by the strength, and the hope of the people we serve at JRS, and I am grateful every day to be part of this important work.
