This treatment became standard practice partly as a result of Laming's research.〔(Annual and Quinquennial Report, Volume 1 ), Menzies School of Health Research, Northern Territory, 1997–1998.〕 He conducted eye disease surveys across the top end as an ophthalmic registrar and co-founded "RedANT" – Australia's first mobile eye disease database, earning a Master of Public Policy from Charles Darwin University in 2000.〔 In 1999, Laming established FIDO – Friends In Deed Organisation – while completing ophthalmology training at Sydney Eye Hospital and Royal North Shore Hospital. FIDO was Australia's first internet-based volunteering service which partners skilled volunteers with not-for-profit organisations. Fido is now operated by The Centre for Volunteering in New South Wales and in 2006 it became known as Fido Skilled Volunteer Search.〔(History ), Fido skilled volunteer search, matching skilled volunteers with not-for-profit organisations〕 In 2000, while studying for a Master of Public Administration at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government, Laming was the founding editor of the now annual ''Kennedy School Review''.〔(''Kennedy School Review'' history )〕 He co-authored ''Let's Go Turkey'' in 2001 before joining the World Bank Group's Health Nutrition and Population section in Washington DC.〔(Andrew Laming MP, Member for Bowman Federal House of Representatives ), Parliament at Work〕 He then worked with the East Timor Transitional Authority as Health Planning Specialist as the country's health system was rebuilt.〔(About Andrew ), www.andrewlaming.com.〕 At the 2001 federal election, Laming challenged Con Sciacca in the federal seat of Bowman. The 1.87% swing to the Liberals left Sciacca as Labor's most marginal member in Parliament.〔Australian Electoral Commission.
