In November 2015, Cox was appointed to conduct the first five yearly review into the Tasmanian Integrity Commission.
Cox was succeeded as Governor on 2 April 2008 by Peter Underwood, Chief Justice of Tasmania.
In August 2004, Cox became acting Governor of Tasmania upon the resignation of Richard Butler, and in November the Premier, Paul Lennon, announced that he had advised the Queen to appoint Cox as Governor of Tasmania. Cox is only the second Tasmanian-born governor in the state's history. The first was Sir Guy Green.
Cox's most high profile court case was that of Martin Bryant, who shot dead 35 people at Port Arthur on 28 April 1996 and was brought before Cox for his trial six months later. Bryant admitted all 35 murders on 8 November and Cox sentenced him to life imprisonment fourteen days later, recommending that Bryant should stay in prison until he dies.
