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
• supporting bilateral engagement through the Australia-China Science and Research Fund as part of the Global Science and Technology Diplomacy Fund.
• helping identify and highlight opportunities for collaboration. As both economies pivot into a low emissions future, decarbonisation is a broad opportunity area.

Tim has worked in a range of policy and program areas, including energy, climate change, trade negotiations and resource matters.
