While studying at Ashfield Preparatory School,[3] Jones earned a scholarship to Newington College in Stanmore, which he attended from 1924,[7] where he showed talent in sport.

In his early years, he played rugby union, cricket and athletics and he won annual awards for his academic merits.

As a senior student he was a prefect, Dux of the College, champion of the 880 yards and hurdles races and was captain of the 1st XV Rugby team.

[9] Though a candidate for competition in the upcoming 1934 British Empire Games and 1936 Olympics, he was unable to balance his medical studies and his sport and was forced to retire after his success in 1932.

[3] While Jones studied at Newington College, he enrolled in the cadets corps and, when he was eighteen, he joined the Sydney University Regiment.

[3] Thanks to financial assistance from his father, Jones entered general practice in the small, south coast town of Pambula, where he stayed for ten years.

[3][9] After serving in World War II both in Northern Australia and in Papua New Guinea, Jones re-entered general practice in Pambula, but sought further qualification to enter surgery.

[3] New qualification systems for the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons meant that because of Jones’ training, which was not in keeping with regulation, he was not eligible to attain a fellowship.

Upon his return, colleagues, led by Archie Collins, commended him for leadership positions in the New South Wales branch of the Australian Medical Association.

Jones was the treasurer of the New South Wales Australian Medical Association and was held responsible when, on the 1st of July 1970, a list of fees and benefits was announced by the Federal Government.

Both Jones and the other New South Wales Australian Medical Association Federal Councillor, Dr Munro Alexander, left the meeting and tendered their resignations.

The Executive refused to accept the resignations however, at the next general meeting Alexander lost his position, and Jones was only returned narrowly.

[3][5] After this experience, Jones was re-elected as a Committee member for the next term and chosen to serve on the Federal Australian Medical Association council.

[2] However, the then Labor Government's continual efforts to state owned health care in the form of Medibank proved controversial, particularly with the Trade Unions.

The Australian Medical Association opposed the publication of the health service, as it now restricted general practitioners' capacity to set their own fees.

[3] Backlash from the Unions was so significant that Jones received death threats due to his role, and the Medical Association was required to employ security for his safety.

This role often entailed legal oversight in Committees of Inquiry, which were powers established in the New South Wales Hospitals Act.

Further, the Minister for Health appointed Jones to further roles at this time, as a mediator sent to the Lake Macquarie power plant, whose union was demanding upgrades made to Wyong Hospital.

[5] Jones died on 2 March 2012, aged 100, at Peter Cosgrove House, RSL Village, Collaroy, New South Wales.
