Tim began his career in the 1980-81 season with Western Australia in the Sheffield Shield as an understudy to Rod Marsh. After Marsh's retirement he became the number one state keeper and eventually the Australian Test keeper. He played 10 Test matches between 1986 and 1987 when Australia were far from the top team in the world. He also played 22 one day internationals. He was replaced as keeper firstly by Greg Dyer and then Ian Healy, though he did tour England twice, in 1989 and 1993, as Healy's deputy.

Zoehrer was a successful and popular keeper for Western Australia with a state record of 360 dismissals and took 38 wickets with his leg break bowling. He was controversially axed in 1994, when the state opted for New South Wales's Adam Gilchrist behind the stumps.
