His important contributions to biochemistry were soon recognized. In 1949, the University of Melbourne conferred on Alfred Gottschalk the Degree of Doctor of Science this was followed in two years by election to Fellowship in the Royal Australian Chemical Institute. In 1951, Gottschalk was awarded the David Syme Research Prize by the University of Melbourne, and, in 1954, he was honored by being elected a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science.

DDT had been imported or manufactured in Australia since 1966, but in early 1971, manufacture within the country ceased and all DDT since then was imported. The early use of DDT in Australia was summarised by the Australian Academy of Science (1972) in The Use of DDT in Australia. At that time it was estimated that about 900 tonnes of DDT were used annually. Total DDT annual imports or production in Australia peaked in 1973 at 3625 tonnes (Olsen et al., 1993). The cumulative total DDT usage in Australia up to 1993 was estimated to be 10,000 tonnes (Connell, 1981 Connell et al., 1999).
