The work was well paid, and Breen took a grant to do a master's degree at Monash University, working initially with the last speakers of the Warluwarra language, and later with the Woorabinda people,{{sfn|BIOITE|2016}} and decided that this was where his vocation lay.{{sfn|Sleath|2014}}{{sfn|Volling|2016}} He was appointed a research fellow at Monash, and there worked on the Bidjara and sv:Gungabula languages and Pitta Pitta with Barry Blake.{{sfn|O'Donnell|1973|p=50}} Breen's work, which has extended over many distinct language groups in western and central Queensland, the Northern Territory and South Australia, was mostly done under the auspices of He is presently a member of the AIATSIS.
