He was educated at schools in Benalla, then undertook teacher training at Melbourne Teachers' College and a Bachelor of Arts at the University of Melbourne. He worked as a schoolteacher for more than twenty years from 1945 to 1966, including at Jamieson St Primary School in Warrnambool.[1]
Ginifer was active in local government politics, serving as a councillor in the Williamstown City Council (1955–1957) and the Shire of Altona (1960–1969). He was also on the state executive of the Labor Party from 1959 to 1966. In 1966, Ginifer was elected at a by-election to the Victorian Legislative Assembly as a Labor member for the seat of Grant.
