Regional Economic Solutions consults with both government and non-government organisations to drive Indigenous leadership and engagement, and is dedicated to bringing about the economic and social parity for First Nations Australians.

Mal strongly believes that sustainable outcomes for First Nations communities are contingent on governments and businesses working in partnership with them.

As a proud patron for his South Sea Islander community and born in Bundaberg, Mal networks to engage and facilitate social, cultural, and economic outcomes, and also facilitates forums on leadership, health, and wellbeing.
