This video may contain images of and references to both living and deceased Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples from many nations and communities.
We are an Indigenous majority-owned and led consultancy with over 80 years of combined experience working at the intersection of governance, culture, and organisational performance.
Our Principals — Darryl Pearce, an Arrernte man, and Craig Jones — believe that the foundations of success, whether in a community or an organisation, come from the culture of the people involved. RREDD was built on that understanding. Deep cultural knowledge. Sharp commercial acumen. Every engagement. Every time.
Built on Country. Tested in boardrooms. Trusted nationally.
Our Founders

Darryl Pearce
Managing Director
Arrernte man.
40+ years of experience in Native Title, negotiation, mediation, dispute resolution, Indigenous governance and organisational reform. Darryl has worked with communities, governments, and corporations across Australia to build governance systems grounded in culture and designed to last.
Darryl is a proud Central Arrernte man from Alice Springs and one of Australia's most experienced Indigenous governance, native title, and economic development practitioners — with over 40 years working across communities, governments, and corporations to build systems grounded in culture and designed to last.
A member of the negotiation team for the original Native Title Act 1993 and Indigenous Land Fund Act, Darryl has facilitated over 100 ILUAs across Australia, representing more than $2.5 billion in combined value. He has led landmark organisations including the Northern Land Council, South West Aboriginal Land and Sea Council, and Lhere Artepe — where he grew an asset base from $500,000 to over $19 million worth of supermarkets with a $50 M plus turnover.
Darryl holds qualifications in Indigenous Legal Studies, Arbitration, and Mediation, and is one of only 5 mediators registered with the Federal Court on Native Title matters. RREDD is the evolution of three decades of practice.
When the stakes are high and the path is complex, Darryl brings what no textbook can teach — hard-won experience, cultural authority, and a proven record of delivering outcomes that matter.
