In 1971 he set up the Aboriginal Medical Service in suburban in Sydney, and was subsequently responsible for the establishment of medical services for Aboriginal throughout Australia. Hollows himself spent three years visiting Aboriginal communities to provide eye care and carry out a survey of eye defects. More than 460 Aboriginal communities were visited, and 62,000 Aboriginals were examined, leading to 27,000 being treated for trachoma and 1000 operations being carried out.
