He wrote the first work on dentistry published in Australia, Hints for the preservation of the teeth (Sydney, 1830), which showed his concerns for preventive dentistry and preventive medicine. After moving to Tasmania, Jeanneret was appointed Medical Officer at Port Arthur and Commandant of the Aborigines' Establishment on Flinders Island. This latter position brought him into conflict with the authorities, resulting in suspension from office for 6 months and repeated efforts to obtain redress for what he considered unjust treatment while holding public office. His early interest in natural history continued in Tasmania, from where he sent botanical specimens to Joseph Hooker in London and William Harvey on Dublin. Jeanneret's particular interest in marine algae is reflected in the naming of the genus Jeannerettia in his honour. 1817 1822 Career position - Apprenticed to a surgeon in Oxford 1824 1824 Education - Licentiate, Society of Apothecaries, London 1825 1825 Education - Doctorate of Medicine, University of Aberdeen, Scotland 1825 1825 Education - Licentiate, Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh 1825 1825 Career position - President, Plinian Natural History Society, Edinburgh University 1829 1829 Life event - Migrated to New South Wales 1829 1834 Career position - In practice as dentist and physician, Sydney 1834 1834 Life event - Moved to Tasmania 1834 1838 Career position - In practice as physician and dentist, Hobart 1838 1842 Career position - Government Medical Officer, Port Arthur, Tasmania 1842 1847 Career position - Commandant, Surgeon and Justice of the Peace, Aborigines' Establishment, Flinders Island 1847 1850 Career position - In practice as physician and dentist, Hobart 1850 1850 Life event - Returned to England Colony of Van Diemen's Land (1803 - 1855) 1838 1847
