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 (accredited in 2024) and am in the final stages of completing a Graduate Diploma in Family Dispute Resolution. 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.
