In 2006 Rick's Lose Weight Now! Hypnosis CD earned him a gold ARIA Award with annual sales of more than 45,000 units. This is believed to be the first Gold Record ever achieved by a hypnosis CD.

In 2005, in conjunction with a Pharmacist colleague, Mr. Nathan Elliott, Rick conducted Australia's first monitored clinical study to evaluate improvements in the quality of life, using hypnosis as an adjunct to conventional medical treatments. The participants of the trial were nine, medical doctor referred and monitored, volunteers suffering various types of cancers at various stages of progression. Both the Clinical and the experiential results were very positive and ethics approval is being sought to conduct a much larger study (all study participants were signed into the trail and monitored independently by their Medical Doctors).
