His other roles with Australian Rugby included Medical Director, Sports Science Consultant (High-Performance Unit), Tournament Medical Officer for Rugby World Cup 2003 and Australian representative on International Rugby Board’s Medical Advisory and Anti-doping Committees addressing player safety and well-being.

John and his family completed a working sabbatical in London which involved working with professional sports clubs. This included the English Premier League Football, Professional Rugby Union and Super-League teams. It also included medical care of the victorious Southern Hemisphere Rugby Team.

John has served on Football Australasia’s High-Performance Committee and is currently on the National Rugby League’s (NRL) Medical Advisory Panel. He was Tournament Medical Officer for the 2020 NRL ‘Nines’. He also acts as a medical consultant for the Australian Professional Golfers’ Association (PGA).
