He has written for a range of children's television programs, including Pig's Breakfast, Crash Zone, Li'l Horrors, and Scooter: Secret Agent.

Nemeth has written stage and radio plays, picture books, and audiovisual shows for the Melbourne Planetarium (Tycho to the Moon and Spinning Out).

He has won several AWGIE awards for his work, including the 1988 AWGIE Award for Radio Original (for science-fiction radio play 'The Chronon Separator'), the 1996 AWGIE Award for Comedy (for We're All Here!), the 1998 AWGIE Award for Comedy Format (for Trouble with Trevor), and the 2005 AWGIE Award for Children's Television: C Classification (for series two of Tracey McBean).
