Timothy joined the Australian Public Service in 2009 and has seen first-hand the importance of good policy and how it impacts the lives of Australians. He has a vested interest in discussions on social and Indigenous policy. Timothy brings to the table a unique perspective in relation to public policy that will have an impact on the people closest to him.

Through his PhD research, Timothy will examine Australian Public Service data governance frameworks and practices. With this knowledge, he will explore how the Maiam nayri Wingara Indigenous Data Sovereignty Principles can be applied to an Indigenous Data Governance model for the Australian Public Service. The research will contribute to improving Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people's socioeconomic outcomes by moving towards economic empowerment and forming a pathway to self-determination.
