A New South Wales State of Origin and Scotland international representative, Wallace began his career playing as a halfback but later moved to hooker.

On 12 June 2018, Peter Wallace announced his retirement from the NRL effective immediately. The Panthers released a statement in which general manager Phil Gould praised the 32-year-old for his "incredibly selfless act".
