He initially went on to become a registrar in anaesthetics and intensive care, but in 2000 joined the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), a statutory body of the Australian Government that regulates the supply of therapeutic goods (medical devices, medicines, etc.) in Australia.

In 2005, he joined Cook Australia (the Australian subsidiary of Cook Medical, a global medical devices company) to undertake the position of Medical Director in a global capacity, providing high-level clinical advice on pre- and post-market safety, quality, performance, and marketing issues pertaining to the manufacture and supply of medical devices globally.
Martin is a founding member of Mobius Medical and is the company’s Medical Director. He brings medical devices experience from both the regulator and the industry. His expertise encompasses clinical and regulatory input into all aspects of medical device research and development, manufacturing, and commercialisation, including clinical trials, clinical evidence, and post-marketing issues; health technology assessment of medical devices for reimbursement; and quality management system auditing to ISO 13485 and clinical trial auditing to ICH GCP.
