De Cairos Rego was well known as an organizer in musical circles,[6] as a founder of the Musical Association of New South Wales in which he acted as secretary for his active years. He was also active in the Australian National Council of Music Associations.[7]
His children Rex and Iris[8] were also professional musicians. Iris[9] became known as a pianist and composer in her own right.
A patent was issued in Britain and the United States Patent and Trademark Office for his invention of an electromagnetic vibrator,[10] possibly to assist violinists with vibrato fingering. He also published research on the conversion of electricity into audible vibration and vice versa.
In 1902 he made a tour of the United States of America.[11] De Cairos Rego survived his wife, Lilian Ada by more than ten years.[12] Possibly this inspired his interest in Theosophy.
A Commonwealth hymn,[13] written for a national celebration of New Year's Eve, at federation of the Australian states, did not proceed as a choir performance, despite his considerable influence.[14] He received a Licentiate in music from Trinity College London.[15]
