Tim is based at the Australian Embassy in Beijing, China.
He facilitates our important partnership with China which is our largest export destination, mainly due to resources exports.
This includes:
- Facilitating engagement with the Chinese Government and industry on portfolio issues.
- Supporting trade and investment under the China-Australia Free Trade Agreement.
- Maintaining Australia’s resources trade interests through engagement with resources stakeholders and in-country activities promoting our resources credentials, policies, and investment opportunities.
- Helping identify and highlight opportunities for collaboration. As both economies pivot into a low emissions future, decarbonisation is a broad opportunity area.
- Supporting bilateral engagement through the Australia-China Science and Research Fund as part of the Global Science and Technology Diplomacy Fund.
Tim has previously worked in a range of policy and program areas, including on energy, climate change, trade negotiations and resource matters.
