About Ethical Labour Foundation

Tim is a seasoned civil engineer and entrepreneur with a 30-year track record of solving complex, system-level problems using innovative technology. He left construction in 1990 when the NSW Government recruited him to see whether it was possible to use technology to reduce the $600 million annual cost of pothole patching across New South Wales. Within five years, Tim’s team halved these costs while improving road conditions.

‍

This success taught Tim the power of technology to address large-scale, system-level problems and led to him founding Infrastructure Control Services (ICS) in 1995, which grew into a global consultancy, employing over 200 people, completing projects in 33 countries and listing on the Australian Stock Exchange in 1999 as ICSGlobal Ltd [ASX:ICS].

‍

Tim remained CEO for 11 years, developing Thelma (www.thelma.com.au) a SaaS-based 'medical banking' claims and payments clearinghouse for Australian hospitals.

In 2018 - alerted to the spiralling forced labour numbers around the world - Tim founded SlaveCheck* in 2019 (*renamed to RCX - Responsible Capital Connect - in 2025) and Ethical Labour Foundation (ELF) in 2023, drawing on his experience creating impactful solutions to address the system-level problem of forced labour. Tim's commitment and leadership at RCX-ELF, including his funding of the initiative since its inception in 2018 – demonstrates his commitment to leading positive global change.
