Cahill also managed to fit in a number of other roles outside of the hospital including Clinical Instructor of Medicine at the University of Melbourne, Commonwealth medical referee for compensation cases and chief medical officer for a number of international life insurance companies. He also ran a very successful private practice until the mid 1990s and became the "physician's physician" as many of his peers specifically sought his help when they became ill.
