1984

He was the James Stewart Chair of Medicine at the Royal Melbourne Hospital from 1984 to 1997.

Larkins' medical research and clinical work was in diabetes and endocrinology.

2007

In 2007, he was appointed as Chair of Universities Australia, a position he held until May 2009.

2008

In a speech to the Melbourne Press Club in February 2008, Larkins lamented the 30% drop in public university funding from 1996 to 2004, stressing the central role that universities must play if Australia's economy is to remain competitive in the future.

As the head of Universities Australia, he has emphasised the need for greater public investment in university teaching and research.

Additionally, Larkins has argued that a national internships program should be established to create closer links between universities and industry.

More controversially, Larkins has expressed his personal view that the student contribution to HECS payments should be deregulated, noting that all evidence suggests that HECS repayment amounts do not act as a disincentive for students to study and that only this will enable Australia's top universities to continue to compete globally.

2019
