I would say that the ranking of Victorian universities is as follows:

Uni Melbourne
Monash
La Trobe
RMIT
Deakin
Swinburne
VU

mate there are honestly about 150 000 threads devoted to this petty shit.

try searching or looking on wikipedia

let me break it down for you:

"I go to UNSW, UNSW is best!"
"I go to Sydney University, Sydney University is best!"
"I go to UTS, UTS is the best!"

Do you get my drift

They're all shit anyway

Although all rankings are intrinsically subjective and controversial, I would tend to agree with the following (as a general guide):

Monash

Swinburne
VU
Without a doubt Melbourne and Monash are the most prestigious, with Melbourne slightly more so than Monash. It is important to remember, however, that the prestige of an institution is not necessarily related to the quality of its courses or lecturers.

there's no ranking for Aussie Uni, because all uni. are strictly controlled by Government. :p
What do you mean? How does the fact most Australian universities are public effect rankings? How does the fact Australian universities recieve public funding equate to them being "strictly controlled" by the government?

Id say rankings on prestige are:
Melbourne
Monash
RMIT
LaTrobe
Deakin
VU

Although i dont necessarily think this is a measure of standard.
Im second year monash which i chose over melb and am pretty happy with the choice. The worst part is wading through some of the core subjects that you may have no interest in but beyond that, fingers crossed, it should be good, but this is the same across all unis.

Also, depends on what you want from the course, eg i think latrobe commerce is pretty much just accounting whereas deakin is more diverse.

Theres my 2c.

ANU is ranked well cuz it gets so much funding for research - and research is a major component when committees etc determine how good a uni is

For a commerce/business degree I would steer clear of La Trobe. I have heard its very weak in this area and that RMIT/Deakin/Swinburne are at least on par, if not better.

I can say from personal experience that Swinburne has pretty good teaching quality and great campus location (although its very small). I can also say that big/prestigious employers do not think badly of Swinburne students as I was accepted to do vac work at a Big 4 accounting firm (lots of Deakin people there too).

I should also probably say that I have left Swin to transfer to UMelb mainly for extra curricular (sports- Swinburne has little to none) and partner universities ( i plan to do exchange at some point).

Anyway, IMO rankings

1. Melb
2. Monash
3. RMIT/Swin/Deakin
4. La Trobe
5. Vic Uni

Big 4 is not prestigious. Maybe to a swinbourne student
