Jody Fitzgerald, Advisor and Lawyer. Appointed as a mediator in 2024.
I was admitted to legal practice in South Australia in 2002 and served as Associate to the Honourable Justice Nyland in the Supreme Court. Currently, I am a political adviser to a Member of the Legislative Council in the Parliament of South Australia, where I engage with legislation and policy at a high level.
In addition to my Bachelor of Laws, I hold a Bachelor of Commerce degree and bring extensive hands-on experience in small business operations. This commercial background enhances my ability to understand and navigate complex disputes with a practical focus.
I am a Nationally Accredited Mediator and registered Family Dispute Resolution Practitioner. I also sit on the Small Business Commission SA mediator panel and serve on the Law Society of South Australia’s Alternative Dispute Resolution Committee. My personal approach is grounded in practicality, empathy, and strong interpersonal skills, ensuring I create a supportive environment for parties to find workable solutions to their disputes.
