Mortlock, a Wallaby team member, was instrumental in the 2000 Bledisloe and Tri-Nation Series' victories. He won Australia's first Tri Nations crown in 2000 against South Africa in Durban on a sideline penalty kick.
Mortlock defeated the All Blacks out of the 2003 Rugby World Cup in the semi-finals after winning man-of-match and having an 80-meter intercept attempt at then-Telstra Stadium.

Mortlock said in February 2008 that he wanted to stay playing with the Wallabies until at least the 2010 season. Mortlock, according to Australian Rugby Union CEO John O'Neill, is a "true captain brave" and a "inspirational king."
In October 2010, he was disqualified from Wallabies' selection. Mortlock was recovering after surgery, and a press release from the Rebels said he was "training in full by December."
The Melbourne Rebels signed Mortlock in March 2010 to a three-year contract for an undisclosed sum. Mortlock was proclaimed the Rebels' inaugural Captain on February 2, 2011, with former Wales international Gareth Delve as Vice-Captain.
Mortlock said in June 2012 that he would leave as a player at the end of the 2012 Super Rugby season. However, in 2013, he spent time with the Rebels in a supporting role.
