The 1886 edition of The Australasian Medical Directory and Hand Book contained a List of Unregistered Practitioners, which included the following entry:

HEINRICH, --, Angaston. Homœopathist. Lately arrived from Germany.

Rudolph Heinrich, physician, first appeared in the 1887 edition of the South Australian Directory.

According to the book "Angaston Stores, Murray Street: Past & Present" by Barry Chinner, in 1888 part of 75 Murray Street in Angaston contained a house, office and stables leased to Dr Heinrich. Presumably this was Rudolph Heinrich.

The last Directory listing for Rudolph Heinrich was in 1896.
