Nilsson Jones brings nearly a decade of journalism and government relations experience to ReGen Strategic. He holds a dual degree in Journalism and Political Science from the University of Queensland, complemented by studies at the University of Sheffield, UK.

His career spans some of Australia’s most respected newsrooms, including the Courier Mail, Gladstone Observer, and Herald Sun where he covered state politics, urban affairs and major regional issues. Most recently, he served as Media and Government Relations Advisor at Fire Rescue Victoria, managing crisis communications on active firegrounds and liaising directly with ministerial offices.

For ReGen Strategic clients, Nilsson’s journalism background is a genuine asset. He understands how media and government audiences think, what cuts through and what doesn’t, and how to position complex issues in ways that land with the people who matter. His experience working directly with ministerial offices gives him a practical understanding of government decision-making that informs sharper, more targeted communications strategies.

Nilsson is drawn to the intersection of communications, policy and social impact, and brings real curiosity to every brief.
