"I've been proud to call Hervey Bay home since 2007, after spending time in Darwin, Brisbane, New Zealand, and Airlie Beach. Each place offered its own unique experiences, but it was Hervey Bay that truly felt like the right fit. My work in real estate and property development has allowed me to be part of the region's growth, and the best part of what I do is meeting incredible people along the way. Whether it's helping bring a project to life or connecting with the community, I'm passionate about making a positive impact through my work. "

"I truly believe the Fraser Coast Malayalee Association (FCMA) is a wonderful community platform. I enjoy being actively involved in community work and love collaborating with others. I'm excited to learn, share, and contribute to something meaningful and purposeful."

"I’m passionate about connecting with others, meeting new people, and helping them wherever I can. I love celebrating our culture and am committed to supporting and uplifting members of the community, fostering unity and mutual support."

"I’m keen to be an active part of the Malayali community in Australia, to help preserve and share our rich cultural heritage with my family, and to contribute meaningfully to the community here."

"I joined FCMA to connect with like-minded professionals, expand my network, and stay engaged with industry trends. It’s a great platform to share ideas, contribute actively, and be part of a community."

"I joined this community because I believe in the power of people coming together to support, grow, and uplift one another. Being part of this group allows me to contribute to positive change, stay connected with like-minded individuals, and give back to a community that has given me so much."

"I believe in the power of social interaction to build a strong sense of community. By engaging with others, I aim to make connections, share experiences, and create a supportive environment where everyone feels welcome and valued."

"I joined FCMA to become part of a well-known and vibrant Kerala community that shares common values, culture, and a strong sense of togetherness. Being part of FCMA allows me to stay connected to my roots, build meaningful relationships, and actively participate in cultural and community events that celebrate our heritage."

"I joined FCMA when it was formed in 2018, with the hope of giving our children an opportunity to experience and appreciate Malayalee culture and traditions. It also gave us a chance to connect and socialise with the wider Malayalee community here. Most importantly, FCMA plays a vital role in bringing together Malayalees from all walks of life, fostering unity and a strong sense of belonging regardless of social background."

"Being part of the Fraser Coast Malayali Association brings me great pride and joy. For many years, my children missed out on our cultural celebrations because there was no community here in Hervey Bay. So now, being part of this group helps me reconnect with our roots, celebrate our traditions, and contribute to building a strong and supportive Malayali community in Australia."

The Malayalee community here is still small but growing steadily, and it has a warm, close-knit feel that we really value. I’m passionate about seeing our organization evolve into a strong, positive force in the wider Fraser Coast community — one that brings people together to do meaningful and uplifting things. There’s enormous potential when good people come together for good causes, and I truly believe we can grow bigger and better, together.
