Rochford was born in Sydney, New South Wales, and grew up on the Northern Beaches. He attended secondary school at St Augustine's College before going to university and completing an undergraduate degree in medical science at the University of Sydney followed by a graduate degree in medicine, which he finalised in 2004, passing with honours.
Rochford moved to Brisbane, Queensland, for a brief period, where he was a surgical trainee at the Princess Alexandra Hospital.

Rochford currently lives in Sydney, where he is an emergency registrar at the Royal North Shore Hospital.
He is married and has a son and twin girls.
In 2004 Rochford and Jamie Nicholson, his girlfriend at that time, entered a competition to be a part of the Australian television show The Block. They were accepted as a reserve in the event of a departure by any other couple. Two other contestants were forced to depart after one of the couple was found to have spent six months in jail during 2002 after conviction for a drug-related offence. Rochford and his partner then went on to win the show, which included as prize money A$100,000 plus any extra money that could be won after the auction of the property they had renovated. Following that auction, the apartment they renovated sold for $868,000 which meant that the couple pocketed the extra $78,000 above the reserve price.
