In addition to his athletic career, Carr was also a surgeon. After the Helsinki Olympics, he completed his studies in medicine and surgery at the University of Sydney. He was visiting honorary surgeon at Blacktown Hospital from 1965 to 1984, and was a military surgeon at Ingleburn Army Camp in Sydney. In 1970, he did a tour of duty in the Vietnam War as a surgeon at the Australian field hospital in Vũng Tàu.[2]
In 2000, a portrait of him was hung in the Archibald Prize painted by Ann Morton. That year, he was one of the former Australian Olympians who participated in the Torch Relay before the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games.[3] His father, Slip Carr, was also an Olympian (1924 Paris 100m semi-finalist).
