During the 1950s Mathew also worked in shops, moved furniture, gave school broadcasts and adult education lectures, wrote literary reviews for the Sydney Morning Herald as a freelance journalist, worked for the CSIRO as an accounts officer 1952–1954 and was a tutor and lecturer at the University of Sydney 1955–1960.
His experience as a lone and lonely teacher is expressed in his most well-known play, A Spring Song, which was first performed in 1958.
He left Australia in 1960 and never returned, dying in New York where he had lived from 1968.
Mathew was born in Sydney and lived in Leichhardt and Bondi, Sydney during his childhood, attending Sydney Boys High School.
