Tim’s first budget as Treasurer in May 2015 delivered the biggest education budget and investment in public transport in the State’s history. His second budget in April 2016 included the single biggest school capital investment in Victoria’s history as well as the new Metro Tunnel. His third budget in May 2017 included an unprecedented $1.9 billion investment to address family violence.

The 2018/19 Victorian Budget focused on continued jobs growth, investment in major projects and the Free TAFE initiative.

The 2019/20 Budget delivered a suburban transport blitz, universal three-year- old kinder, and the solar homes initiative, while maintaining a strong and steady economic approach.

The Victorian Budget 2020/21 – his sixth – invested an unprecedented $49 billion to rebuild Victoria and ensure Victorians remain at the heart of recovery, supporting massive jobs growth and delivering the infrastructure that communities want and need.

Tim studied Arts/Law at the Australian National University prior to taking up roles with the Federal Firefighters Union and the Storemen and Packers Union. He still holds a legal practising certificate and is also a Graduate of the Australian Institute of Company Directors.
