Meet Don Palmer, Malpa CEO

We’re proud to have Malpa in our Venture portfolio, an innovative organisation whose Young Doctors project aims to overcome preventable health issues in children. Through a 15 week in-school program, Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal children aged 9–12 learn a combination of traditional Aboriginal healing skills and modern practices from Western medicine and become health ambassadors in their communities.

We caught up with Don Palmer, Malpa’s CEO, for a chat about why Malpa’s innovative approach is working.

If you’re interested in supporting Malpa, please contact Nicolas Deloux.
