On returning to Australia in 1988 Dr Pitt was appointed Director of Paediatric Emergency Department, Mater Children’s Hospital and Director, Queensland Injury Surveillance Unit. He held positions on State and/or national committees of the National Injury Surveillance and Prevention Project, Standards Association of Australia, and the Child Accident Prevention Foundation of Australia.
