Edith Cowan University (ECU) ranks among the best places to work in Australia, a survey conducted by American news magazine TIME has found.

In collaboration with German data platform Statista, TIME released its list of Australia's Best Employers in 2026; ECU ranked 46th on the list of the country's top 300 employers, and seventh out of every university in Australia.

The study asked open-ended questions about more than 5,000 employers in Australia, and more than 200,000 employee evaluations were collected, with a final score given to each employer out of 100.

Each employer's score was based on an employee's willingness to recommend working for their own employer, and the same employee's willingness to recommend employers from other companies within the same sector.

ECU received a score of 93.25 to sit in 46th place on TIME and Statista's list of the top 300 companies to work for in Australia, behind only Curtin University among Western Australia's higher learning institutions.
