Chris Hannan

Candidate for Franklin

Chris is a mental health professional, mum and community services leader. She is running for state parliament because she knows how hard it can be to get the help you need and wants to change that.

Chris moved to Tasmania in 2013 as a single parent, later becoming a carer for both her father, who had dementia, and her young son, who’s now navigating the NDIS. Like many Tasmanian families, Chris's family spent years on waiting lists just to access basic services. She's lived the gaps in our system and is determined to fix them.

With a background in social work, law, and community leadership, Chris has spent her career standing up for others.

Now, she's ready to stand up for Franklin in Parliament.
