“Navitas recruits and hosts in‑market staff for Edith Cowan University (ECU) across multiple locations. Their longstanding presence in these markets means they bring deep knowledge of local regulations, cultural expectations and operating environments, which is a significant advantage for ECU.
Navitas also provides centralised hosting service arrangements, giving us a single, coordinated point of oversight. This holistic support saves ECU considerable time and allows us to focus on strategy, performance and results, rather than navigating complex local administrative or compliance matters.”
