Moore was appointed Colonial Surgeon (vice Dr. Gosse), and also filled the offices of Superintendent of the Lunatic Asylum, President of the Medical Board, and member of the Vaccine Board. In 1869 he resigned the office of Colonial Surgeon and was succeeded by Br. Paterson. He then entered into private practice, but continued his connection with the Medical Board as its President, and with the Lunatic Asylum as an official visitor.
