Biography

Jarrah FitzGerald is a researcher at the Australian Institute of Primary Care and Ageing, in the School of Nursing and Midwifery at La Trobe University. He has a particular interest in qualitative research methods as a way of understanding the unique experiences of individuals and translating these into policy and practice. Research relating to older age and the experience(s) of ageing is a primary focus.

During post-graduate studies at Macquarie University, he conducted research into the various ways residents transitioned to an independent retirement complex. This research covered aspects of resistance, acceptance, and the benefits of taking control in later life. In 2019, Jarrah began a PhD within the Australian Institute of Primary Care and Ageing, which was completed in 2024. Jarrah is continuing his work on the experiences of older people living in Australia and is currently undertaking a grounded theory involving older adults living in residential aged care across Victoria.

Jarrah proudly acknowledges the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nations as the Traditional Custodians of the land and its waterways on which he lives and works.
