At eighteen years of age, in the year 1812, he married Georgina Lindsay Bucknell. While there is no evidence of the actual time when Hely came to Australia, it is known that he was given the post of principal superintendent of the convicts in New South Wales sometime in early 1823, but it was later in the year that he arrived in Sydney, with his wife and children, to actually take up the post (a post he would hold throughout the entirety of the rest of his life).

Later, in 1832, Hely applied for an appointment as stipendiary magistrate at Brisbane Water, but, to induce him to stay as superintendent of convicts (an office in which he had been quite successful in the past), he was offered a salary increase of £100 from the £200 he was already earning. Brisbane Water is the northern arm of Broken Bay on the east coast of New South Wales Australia. Two years later, however, Hely became a foundation director of the Commercial Banking Co. of Sydney.
