QUT HR Director Graham Mac Aulay said staff satisfaction was a priority for the university.

"QUT surveys its staff every three years to measure how satisfied they are about working for our university.
"The UniJobs result reinforces the feedback we receive through our surveys.
"For the past decade QUT has also been named an Employer of Choice for women by Australia's Equal Opportunity for Women in the Workplace Agency."
