Revealed: Australia's 5-Star Employers of Choice 2025

Revealed: Australia

Every school wants to offer its staff and students the best possible teaching and learning environment, but some are going above and beyond.

To identify the schools leading the way in supporting and understanding the needs of their staff, The Educator launched its fifth annual 5-Star Employers of Choice survey.

In February, The Educator asked participants to fill in details about outstanding programs they currently have in place. Employees from nominated schools were then asked to fill out an anonymous form evaluating their workplace on a number of metrics, including benefits, compensation, culture, employee development and commitment to diversity and inclusion.

The 2025 winners were evaluated over several criteria, including benefits, culture, and employee development, among others.

Each featured institution demonstrated workplace excellence by providing and prioritising professional growth and wellbeing of their staff. Some winners even offer fitness classes and encourage employees to pursue their interests and passions.

So, without further ado, here are some of the schools who made the cut for the 5-Star Employers of Choice 2025.
