Recognising Australia's best |
AAGE's Top Graduate Employers lists |
Objective
One of the AAGE’s key objectives is to promote excellence in our industry. We want to be an advocate for our members and the best practice they demonstrate in the fields of graduate recruitment and development. One of the ways the AAGE recognises excellence is via our annual Top Graduate Employers lists. The AAGE’s Top Graduate Employers lists recognise organisations that provide the most positive experience for their new graduates, as determined by graduates themselves. |

Methodology The Top Graduate Employers lists were determined based on responses captured in the 2025 AAGE Graduate Survey conducted across November and December 2024. The survey received over 4,000 responses from current graduates who joined their employer’s graduate program in 2024 and have up to 12 months experience with this organisation. Ratings The survey is completed anonymously, and graduates are asked to rate their employer on around 31 different categories including:
All the individual responses from graduates at a particular employer are combined and used to determine an overall average rating for that organisation. This same process is followed for each separate employer to produce an overall average rating for each organisation based on the responses of its own graduates. Employers have been ranked in one of three lists of 25 based on their intake size, enabling improved comparability and usability. The overall average ratings are grouped by intake size and then compared and ranked to produce three lists being:
A total of 75 employers are featured across these three lists and are the Top Graduate Employers for 2025. |
