In doing research for a story, I came across the fact that in Britain, surgeons who have fully qualified are addressed as Mister as opposed to Doctor. The tradition apparently goes back to the time when being a surgeon did not require a university degree. Does anyone know what the practice is in Australia? If specific place and time matters, the story is set between 1960 and 1975, and the character originally comes from Western Australia. My own research has been conflicting, but it's pointing to Australian surgeons being addressed as Mr versus Dr.
