Biographical Note

Albert Speer was born in 1922 in Goulburn, New South Wales and served in New Guinea with 2/2 Australian Field Ambulance from 1942 to 1945. This marked the beginning of Speer's long association with Papua New Guinea.

Speer joined the Public Service of Papua New Guinea as a medical assistant in October 1947 with early postings to Kerema (1947), Madang (1950), and Saiho/Polondetta (1951), where he led the medical team in the evacuation of victims of the Mt. Lamington disaster. Other postings include Tari (1954) and Koroba (1955/1957) where he made exploratory patrols into 'uncontrolled' areas of the Southern Highlands, eventually taking over the administrative management of the Koroba hospital. He was a medical assistant in charge of the Malahang Native Hospital at Lae (1957-1959).

From 1959 to 1967 he worked as the Regional Administrative Officer at Rabaul and later at Goroka, New Guinea Highlands Region. In 1967 he was involved in special project work investigating the 'methods study' into the Malaria Branch of the Department of Public Health.

In 1969 Speer was appointed Executive Officer of the Malaria Branch. From 1970 to 1971 he was involved in another special project for the Director of Public Health on the review of Aid Posts. Altogether he served in the Department of Public Health in the Australian Administration of Papua and New Guinea from 1947 until his retirement in 1971. He was a pioneer in the establishment of health services in Papua New Guinea.

In 1978 Speer was made a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) for his work in the Papua New Guinea Public Health Department.

Speer did not marry but he 'adopted' four children from Papua New Guinea, including Sir Albert Maori Kiki.
