John Rae is Senior Lecturer in Health Services Management at Charles Sturt University in NSW, Australia. He co-ordinates the School's post graduate programs in health service management and teaches a range of subjects in those courses.

Originally from a nursing background, John has worked for thirty five years in the public health system in varying roles including health services management, health planning, service development, aged care management, quality management, project management, capital works redevelopment, genetic counselling, genetic counselling education, nurse education and clinical nursing.

An interest in creativity prompted John to enroll in a PhD at CSU where he is currently examining the place of creativity in health services management. The value he places on creativity also fuels his love of art and his own painting, collage and sculpture. Other research, teaching and consultancy interests lie in rural health, health planning and aged care.
