In 1980, Hearder was appointed the first High Commissioner to Zimbabwe, shortly after Zimbabwe's independence.[4] Retaining his High Commissioner position, in 1981 Hearder was accredited High Commissioner to Botswana,[5] and in 1982 he was accredited also as Australia's first Ambassador to Mozambique.[6] In 1984, after his posting in Harare came to an end, Hearder moved to Suva, Fiji, to take up a second High Commissioner posting.[3]
Hearder was Consul-General in Chicago from 1988 to 1991, responsible for promoting Australian trade and investment to America's mid-west.[7][8]
In 2015, Hearder launched his book, Jim Plim: Ambassador Extraordinary, a biography of diplomat James Plimsoll whom Hearder had worked with in the late 1970s in Brussels.[9][10] Reviewing the book, Philip Flood wrote that Hearder had done justice to Plimsoll's career as a great Australian ambassador.[11][12]
