He has published more than a thousand articles in around 40 Australian and international newspapers, magazines and journals. He is the author of four book chapters and three regular newspaper columns. He is also Editor of the Diabetes Management Journal and Senior Lecturer at the University of QLD and Griffith University.  In 2014, Justin founded a campaign which encouraged doctors to avoid seeing visiting pharmaceutical representatives at their surgeries called the No Advertising Please campaign
