He has previously worked as the Ambassador to Turkey and the Ambassador to Israel.

Before joining the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Larsen worked as a commercial solicitor for MinterEllison from 1988 to 1991.
He joined DFAT in 1992, and worked as second secretary at the Australian embassy in Thailand from 1994 to 1997.
Larsen was then appointed as director of the Administrative and Domestic Law Group from 1998 to 2000, before joining the Australian embassy in Belgium as counsellor.
From 2004 to 2006 he was legal adviser and assistant secretary in the legal branch of DFAT.
In 2006 he was appointed Ambassador to Israel.
In this post, he oversaw the relocation of the Australian embassy from Europe House to South Tel Aviv.
His next appointment was as Ambassador for People Smuggling Issues.
He then became principal advisor to Foreign Minister Bob Carr.
He served as the Ambassador to Turkey from 2014 to 2017.

In 2023, amidst the Israel–Hamas war, Australia abstained from voting on Resolution ES-10/L.25.
Larsen explained that Australia believed the resolution to be incomplete, as it did not recognise Hamas as the perpetrators of the 7 October attacks on Israel, although Australia did "agree with the central proposition, that the humanitarian situation in Gaza is dire and human suffering is widespread and unacceptable."
Larsen is married to Antoinette Merrillees, daughter of Robert Merrillees, who are also both career diplomats.
They have three children.
