Michael Hales

Michael is a founding Director of Aboriginal United Services (AUS) and has a passion for implementing and driving business strategies to increase the economic development of Aboriginal people and Aboriginal owned businesses.

 

It is Michael’s view that there is a great opportunity for the Government and Private sectors to help create immediate, ongoing sustainable economic and employment opportunities for
Aboriginal people. The net effect of this will help drive positive outcomes and role models for Aboriginal people in regional and metropolitan areas across Australia.
 

Building the Australian “Aboriginal Economy” and the creation of more sustainable diverse Aboriginal owned enterprises is going to be the leading factor in closing the gap and an area Michael takes a lot of pride in being part of.
