Tim Lavers has lived in the electorate of Wollongong for over 30 years, where he has raised his children and built a strong connection with the community. By trade, he is a software engineer with experience across multiple industries, including within both private and government sectors. This career path has led Tim to his current professional role, working as a programmer at a cancer research organisation.

Tim is running as a candidate in Wollongong because he wants action on local issues. As high priorities, Tim wants to see the construction of the Bulli bypass, the removal of shark cull nets and research into humane methods of controlling local deer populations. Furthermore, he will advocate for the creation of more homes in Wollongong, whilst preventing high-rise development within the electorate. On statewide issues, Tim wants better funding for public schools, an end to the greyhound racing industry, government support for companion animal desexing programs, and improved protection of native forests. Tim will also fight against the establishment of an AUKUS nuclear submarine base at Port Kembla.

The Animal Justice Party (AJP) is committed to creating a better world for animals and people by promoting policies built on the core values of kindness, equality, rationality, and non-violence. The AJP's Upper House MP, Emma Hurst, has been a tireless and effective advocate for vulnerable people and animals, whose hard work and positive attitude are truly inspiring. The AJP is pioneering a new way of doing politics, and Tim is proud to be a part of it.
