How many shopping centres does Starworks rank in Australia?
Starworks ranks the 499 highest-rated shopping centres in Australia, holding 177,890 Google reviews between them. Across those 499 the median rating is 4.5 stars from a median of 46 reviews. Of those 499, 325 are rated 4.5 or better and 170 have passed 100 reviews.

How does Starworks rank shopping centres nationally?
To rank shopping centres across Australia, Starworks combines each business's Google star rating, its review volume, and whether customers can reach it by website and phone. Volume is weighted because it shows how much evidence stands behind a rating, so a 4.9-star shopping centre with 200 reviews ranks above a 5-star one with 5 reviews. Placement cannot be bought. For scale, the median rating across the 499 highest-rated shopping centres in Australia is 4.5 stars from a median of 46 reviews.
Where can I find the best shopping centres in my city?
Starworks publishes a separate ranking for shopping centres in every Australian city and suburb it holds enough data for, each built from that place's own Google review record rather than from this national list. Browse by city below.
Why does my shopping centre business not appear in these national rankings?
Starworks ranks public Google Maps data, so a business needs a Google profile in the shopping centre category carrying at least one review and a rating to be eligible. This national ranking of shopping centres in Australia lists the top 50 of the 499 highest-rated shopping centres; a business ranked outside them appears on its own city page wherever Starworks holds enough data for that city.
