Director of Obstetrics and Senior Obstetric Specialist at St Francis Hospital, Martin Clegg is a man of contradictions. His mind is like a steel trap. His personality is like a Chinese box. Mercurial, unpredictable and a man of extremely high intelligence, Clegg is sometimes baffled by people’s negative responses to him. He knows that he has a unique set of priorities and his own way of doing things. He is a brilliant medical practitioner with a sophisticated, convoluted personality.

Fathering a child for Kim and Renee has brought an unexpected sweetness to his life and a desire to explore what it is to be a human being. Enamored with his colleague Nurse Cherie Butterfield, Clegg was heartbroken when she left on a road trip around Australia. Clegg had just recovered from their breakup when he was hit by the loss of his best friend Patrick Reid. The godfather to Nina’s baby, Clegg has been profoundly affected by Patrick’s death, changing his behavior and outlook on the world.
