In 1952 Cade was appointed Superintendent and Dean of the clinical school at [[Royal Park Hospital]]. Two years later, at the request of the Mental Hygiene Authority which was planning to remodel [[Royal Park Hospital|Royal Park]], he visited Britain for six months to inspect psychiatric institutions. On his return, he introduced modern facilities and replaced the rather authoritarian approach to patient care with a lot more personal and informal style that included [[group therapy]]. Concerned at the number of alcohol-related cases, he supported [[wikt:voluntary|voluntary]] admission to aid early detection and later proposed the use of large doses of [[thiamine]] in the treatment of alcoholism.<ref name=adb>{{Australian Dictionary of Biography

He served as the federal president of the [[Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists]] in 1969–70, and also as the president for its [[Victoria (state)|Victoria]] branch from 1963 until his death in 1980. In the end, Dr. Cade's discovery did receive widespread acknowledgements and praise. For his contribution to psychiatry, he was awarded a Kittay International Award in 1974 (with [[Mogens Schou]] from Denmark), and he was invited to be a Distinguished Fellow of the [[American College of Psychiatrists]].<ref name="NHMRC">{{cite web |title=NHMRC John Cade Fellowship Mental Health Research |url=https://www.nhmrc.gov.au/grants-funding/directory-previous-nhmrc-grants/nhmrc-john-cade-fellowship-mental-health-research |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180408231558/https://www.nhmrc.gov.au/grants-funding/directory-previous-nhmrc-grants/nhmrc-john-cade-fellowship-mental-health-research |archive-date=2018-04-08 |access-date=29 February 2016 |publisher=NHMRC}}</ref> In 1976, Cade was one of the first to be made an [[Officer of the Order of Australia]].<ref>{{cite web

Finally, in July 2004, the Medical Journal of Australia reported that Cade's 1949 article, "Lithium salts in the treatment of psychotic excitement", was the number one most cited MJA article.<ref>{{cite web|title=100 Years of Australian Innovation – lithium for manic depression |url=http://www.biotechnology-innovation.com.au/innovations/pharmaceuticals/manic_depression.html |access-date=11 October 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080719084358/http://www.biotechnology-innovation.com.au/innovations/pharmaceuticals/manic_depression.html |archive-date=19 July 2008 }}</ref>
