Between 1923 and 1931 he worked in various capacities, and at several medical facilities, for the Victorian Department of Mental Health. Even at this early stage he attracted controversy. In 1924 a Royal Commission was convened into his attempts to improve conditions at the Children's Cottages where unsanitary conditions and widespread infection were rampant: he was exonerated. From 1931 he was in private practice, bureaucratic resistance to psychoanalytical methods having proved too much for him. He initiated new treatments emanating from Europe and seemed to delight in taking on the medical and psychiatric establishment. He was a founding Member of the Medico-Legal Society of Victoria and attended the first meeting of the Association of Australasian Psychiatrists. 1923 1923 Education - MB BS, University of Melbourne 1923 1924 Career position - Junior Medical Officer, Kew Asylum for the Insane, Melbourne 1925 1927 Career position - Medical Officer, Sunbury State Mental Hospital, Victoria 1925 1931 Career position - Psychiatric clinic assistant, Royal Melbourne Hospital 1927 1931 Career position - Medical Officer, Mont Park Hospital, Melbourne 1931 Career position - Consultant alienist, Women's Hospital, Melbourne 1931 1931 Education - MD, University of Melbourne 1931 1931 Career event - Founding member, Medico-Legal Society of Victoria 1931 1946 Career position - Honorary consultant Psychiatrist, Alfred Hospital, Melbourne 1931 1955 Career position - In private practice 1940 1955 Career position - Foundation Director, Melbourne Institute for Psycho-Analysis 9 October 1946 9 October 1946 Career event - Attended first meeting of the Association of Australasian Psychiatrists Alfred Hospital (1871 - )
