Rae-Lee Warner serves as a Lecturer in the Centre for Aboriginal Studies at Curtin University in Perth, Western Australia, under the Office of the Provost. Previously, she has held positions as Associate Lecturer and Deputy Director within the same centre. Her professional journey at Curtin University dates back to at least 2014, including an earlier role as Academic Support Officer for the Indigenous Tertiary Enabling Course (ITEC). As a Provisional Psychologist, Warner specializes in areas intersecting Indigenous health, education, social psychology, clinical psychology, and Department of Justice initiatives. She currently coordinates the unit INDH1006: Indigenous Cultures and Health Behaviours, delivering education on critical topics related to Indigenous health practices and cultural contexts at the Bentley campus.

Warner's scholarly contributions include co-authoring the 2024 publication 'An Evaluation of the Healthy Relationships Program for Male Adolescents in Juvenile Detention: A Mixed Method Approach' in SAGE Open. This study utilized a mixed-methods design to assess the program's impact on attitudes toward intimate partner violence among male adolescents in Western Australian juvenile detention, approved by the Curtin University Human Research Ethics Committee (HRE2021-0240). She has also contributed to decolonizing science education efforts, including the 2020 paper 'De-colonising Science through Co-design Principles: Developing a First-Year Indigenous Science Unit' and work on 'Grounding Indigenous Science in a Foundational Unit: A Pandemic Experience' alongside colleagues from Curtin University's Centre for Aboriginal Studies and School of Molecular and Life Sciences. Additionally, Warner played a key role in the 'Under the 'Gija Jumulu' Tree' Experiential Learning Program, which was awarded the 2022 WA International Education Program of the Year by the Confederation of International Students in Western Australia (CISWA). Her work advances Indigenous studies by integrating cultural perspectives into health, justice, and science education, fostering inclusive academic environments and supporting Indigenous student success.
