About Taryn
Dr. Taryn Jones is a registered physiotherapist and Senior Lecturer in Physiotherapy within the School of Health Sciences and Social Work at Griffith University. She holds a Doctor of Philosophy from Queensland University of Technology, completed in 2026, with a thesis titled 'Efficacy of a play-based therapeutic exercise program in children with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis.' Her undergraduate qualifications include a Bachelor of Physiotherapy (Honours) and Bachelor of Exercise Science. Jones also earned a Graduate Certificate in Higher Education from Griffith University between 2012 and 2013. Her career at Griffith University encompasses teaching courses such as Physiotherapy Practicum 4 and Physiotherapy Across the Lifespan 1, as well as supervision in higher degree research.
Jones's research specializations center on clinical education, practice-based learning in allied health, and paediatric respiratory conditions, particularly physical activity and self-management in children with bronchiectasis. Key publications include 'Experiences of children with bronchiectasis and their parents in a novel play-based therapeutic exercise program: a qualitative analysis' (BMJ Open, 2024, with Baque et al.); 'Barriers and facilitators of physical activity in children with bronchiectasis: Perspectives from children and parents' (Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2022, with Baque et al.); 'Collaborative goal setting within student-led musculoskeletal clinics: a service evaluation' (Disability and Rehabilitation, 2025, with Shepherd et al.); 'Evaluation of the Early Impact of COVID-19 on Physiotherapy Clinical Placement Learning Models and Client Case-Mix' (2022, with Hams); and contributions to 'The assessment of physiotherapy practice is a robust measure of entry-level physiotherapy standards' (PLOS ONE, 2025, with Reubenson et al.). She co-developed the Physiotherapy Clinical Placement Quality Survey–Student (CPQS-S), which has achieved national uptake and scholarly impact. Jones has received the 2025 Australian Awards for University Teaching for transforming placement quality (with Andrea Hams), Griffith University's Vice-Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Engagement in Learning and Teaching (2024, with Hams), and a Highly Commended recognition for the Interprofessional Learning Workshop Placement Team. Her work influences physiotherapy education and paediatric rehabilitation practices.
