Aplin was re-elected at the 2007 and 2011 general elections. Prior to the 2011 general election, Aplin held the shadow portfolio of Mental Health and Aboriginal Affairs under Opposition Leader Barry O'Farrell. However, Aplin was not selected to join the O'Farrell ministry, and remained on the backbench under Premiers Mike Baird and Gladys Berejiklian. He retired at the 2019 election.
