John Millar came to Hobart in 1940 and began general practice, however after gaining his membership in 1947 he devoted his practice entirely to paediatrics. As well as practising as a consultant he practised as a general paediatrician supervising children for all their ailments. As a result he had close contact with the families and this helped to cement his place in their hearts.
His appointments were honorary paediatrician at the Children’s Department at the Royal Hobart Hospital from 1940 to 1963; honorary paediatrician at the Mothercraft Home Hobart; visiting paediatrician at the Queen Alexandra Hospital Hobart; medical officer at the Repatriation Genreal Hospital in Hobart from 1963 to 1975. He was a foundation member of the Australian Paediatric Association from 1953. During World War II he served as a surgeon-lieutenant commnader RANR; district naval MO Tasmania from 1939 to 1946.
John was a very kind and gentle person and as the first paediatrician in Hobart filled an important position. He was married with four children, two boys and two girls and has six grandchildren.
