October 2010, it was announced that Werkmeister was to leave Neighbours along with Jane Hall (Rebecca Robinson) and Erin Mullally (Declan Napier). Speaking about his decision to leave, Werkmeister said "When I started on Neighbours I was only thirteen, I didn't shave or drive a car so I really have grown up on the show, I've learnt so much, worked with some great people who are now some of my closest friends." His final episode was broadcast on 11 March 2011. In 2012, Werkmeister made a cameo appearance in Australian band Eagle and the Worm's music video for their single "Give Me Time". In the video, he played a roller-skating sex symbol. From May to June 2013, Werkmeister performed as Roger Boothby in Barry Lowe's acclaimed stage play The Death of Peter Pan at Melbourne's Chapel Off Chapel. In April 2014, Werkmeister made a brief return to Neighbours as part of his on-screen family, the Kennedys' 20th anniversary. Personal life Werkmeister was educated at St Peters College in Cranbourne, Victoria and did most of his schoolwork by correspondence due to his acting commitments. In 2010, he attended his Débutante Ball. His hobbies include skimboarding, playing chess, oil painting, playing guitar and eating. Since leaving Neighbours, Werkmeister has kept a low-profile. In February 2017, he moved to the United States.
