Maljevac worked for communications engineering agency Directa and Legebitra, a
LGBT NGO. He was the Slovenian representative in the EU Network group of
ILGA-Europe in 2006 and president of
IGLYO from 2007 to 2009. He and Nika Kovač founded the Inštitut 8. marec in 2016. After the referendum he joined
The Left as he claimed that it was the only party that fully supported amending the Family Code. At the
2018 Slovenian parliamentary election Maljevac was a The Left candidate in Kranj but was not elected. At the
2022 Slovenian parliamentary election he was a The Left candidate in Celje but was again not elected. Following the 2022 Slovenian parliamentary election The Left became a junior partner in the
government of
Prime Minister Robert Golob. Maljevac was a candidate to be Minister of Labor, Family, Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities but the post was instead given to
Luka Mesec. It had been intended that Mesec would head the newly created Ministry for a Solidary Future but this was abandoned after the far-right
Slovenian Democratic Party threatened to submit the creation of the new ministry to a national referendum. Maljevac was instead appointed State Secretary with responsibility for equal opportunities, family, disabled persons, older people and deinstitutionalisation at the Ministry of Labour, Family, Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities. In January 2023 he was promoted to Minister of Solidarity-Based Future of Slovenia. ==Personal life==
