The Australian Capital Territory (ACT), home to Canberra, is not ranked as a separate country in global rankings. However, Canberra frequently appears in quality-of-life indices. For instance, in Mercer’s 2023 Quality of Living Survey, Canberra ranked among the top 30 cities worldwide for livability.
ACT excels in education, healthcare, and infrastructure, contributing to its high standards. While it doesn’t have a standalone national ranking, Australia as a whole often places highly in global metrics like the Human Development Index (HDI), where it consistently ranks in the top 10, reflecting ACT’s similar socio-economic conditions.
