He continues to be involved in clinical research and holds honorary appointments at the Centre for Eye Research Australia and the University of Melbourne. He has had a long public hospital commitment and was a Principal Specialist in the Corneal Unit at the Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital for many years where he has also served as the Unit Head.

Clinical governance has been an important focus of Grant’s career. He has held the position of Medical Director and chaired the Medical Advisory Committee of two private hospitals. He currently serves on the Nexus national Clinical Governance Committee.
Grant had a major role in the establishment and successful development of Manningham Private Hospital, which was subsequently sold to Nexus in 2013 as the foundation hospital of the Nexus group. In each of these roles, Grant has been integral to embedding the principles upon which Nexus Hospitals is based – partnering with doctors to invest in the facilities, technology and well-trained hospital teams to create a hospital group with high quality patient care and outcomes at its centre.
