During his time with Hi-5 Tim was a National Ambassador for the Starlight Foundation and World Vision. He also filmed 135 episodes, released three albums with Sony Music Australia and toured internationally. He was also nominated, along with the rest of the group, for two TV Week Logie Awards, two ARIA Awards and an Asian Television Award.
