Tim Sill
Counsellor (Industry, Science and Resources), Beijing | China

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.
