He was promoted Major 1813 and Lt Col 1819.
In Nov 1821 he sailed from Deptford for NSW in the convict transport "Phoenix" with 3 other officers and 50 soldiers as escort to 182 convicts. He arrived in Sydney with his family on the "Phoenix" on 4 Jun 1822. The family took up residence in O'Connell St, Sydney.
He was appointed Commandant at Port Dalrymple, VDL 14 Dec 1822, arriving with his troops Feb 1823, and moving his station to Launceston in 1824. He indicated a desire to retire in Tasmania.

After purchasing 2000 acres at Merton in the Hunter Valley, he left his wife and children in Sydney on 30 Jan 1827 and went with the Regiment to India. A few days after arrival, he, with 30 soldiers and many of the women and children, died of cholera. Charles Cameron is commemorated in Tasmania by a major street in Launceston and Port Cameron.
