Its largest campus in Perth is in the port city of Fremantle where it expanded into colonial-era maritime buildings in the West End heritage area, later becoming ubiquitous with the precinct as a university town. Although controversial for its use of heritage property, its restoration work and the influx of students has formed a symbiotic relationship with the local economy, culture and tourism industry. Its campus in Sydney is divided between St Benedict's Church on Broadway and the Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Darlinghurst. It also has a regional campus in Broome and eight clinical schools across New South Wales and Victoria.
Notre Dame's academic activities are organised into three faculties, which are subdivided into constituent schools, centres and research divisions. In 2023, it had a total revenue of A$231.23 million and a total expenditure of A$230.07 million. It also enrolled 11,860 students mostly divided between Perth and Sydney. Its interstate presence allows students to transfer between the two cities and Broome throughout their studies. It also has a reciprocal agreement with the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana, allowing approved students to study abroad at the other while retaining grades and without additional tuition. This includes NDUS' Global Gateways, which has campuses in Europe, Asia and Latin America.
At the time, a fifth of the Australian population was Catholic[10][11] and there was an established network of Catholic primary and secondary schools.[8][12][13] Cardinal Gilroy believed that there was a strong appetite for a Catholic university and that it would enable the education of an "elite Catholic laity that had been the glory of the church in the United States".[14] Additionally, the archdiocese expressed openness in providing financial support and land for the university should the proposal be successful.[15] In a report, Father Duffy included that almost all of the federal cabinet members were Catholic and noted the influence of Irish Australians in the governing structure of the country, resembling it with the Irish history of NDUS.[16][17][18][19]
Following months of internal discussions, Father Cousineau and the Holy Cross' assistant provincial, Father Chris O'Toole, visited Sydney in 1946 to investigate the viability of the institution in a precursory report, outlining its opportunities and possible setbacks.[20] While the report highlighted Australia's existing Catholic school system and potential to increase opportunities for the Catholic faith and its members, the report had also found possible obstacles.[21][22] These included the lack of universal support or enthusiasm between interstate bishops, distance between major cities, perceived competition from existing institutions and the substantial government lobbying required for support or funding.[21][23][24] There was also the limitations of technology and issue of distance between the American institutions and Sydney, a future cause for stagnation of progress in the university's establishment.[25]
They concluded that while the potential for an Australian institution undertaken by the congregation existed, they should start smaller from a single faculty and the cardinal would need to lobby other bishops to raise enough funds.[26][27][28] Additionally, existing commitments in the development of educational institutions elsewhere by the Holy Cross and NDUS limited the personnel and funding available to support the project.[29][30] The Holy Cross order also sent additional personnel in the following years to evaluate the future university's plans.[31] This included the proposed name University of St. Mary,[b] faculties, locations and fundraising options.[31]
The project was pursued for a few more years and 81 hectares (200 acres) was purchased in 1948 on behalf of the Holy Cross for a future campus.[7][34][35] Ultimately, political opposition from the press and the further stretching of Holy Cross resources due to the Korean War led to the required charter to establish the university not being acquired at the time.[36] Despite positive reception from Pope Pius XXI[37][38] and the then dominance of Catholics in the governing Labor Party's hierarchy,[18][19][39] non-Catholics were more sceptical of the plans.[8][40][41][42] This included concerns from other religious denominations over the level of academic freedom at a denominational institution[43][44][45][46] and its potential to segregate Australian society.[47][48][49] The endeavour was abandoned some time in 1953[50][51][52] and the land was later leased to Warrane College.[7][53]
Re-emergence and establishment
In the mid-1980s, concerns were raised by the Catholic Education Commission of Western Australia and the Archdiocese of Perth that present state universities may not be able to sufficiently train school teachers and nurses to work in the state's Catholic education and healthcare network.[54][55] This was partly due to the lack of public Catholic teaching colleges in the state found in the rest of the mainland, and their concern that the schools may eventually lose their Catholic identity.[54][56] The idea of a private Catholic university again surfaced this time on the opposite side of the Australian continent.[57]
Peter Tannock, who headed the Catholic Education Office of Western Australia, discussed these concerns with William Foley, the then Archbishop of Perth.[54][56] They enlisted the help of Catholic businessperson Denis Horgan, also a childhood friend to Peter and founder of the Leeuwin Estate, who they hoped would provide financial assistance in establishing the university.[54][56] Horgan, who had also previously envisioned a private university in the state, was supportive of the idea so long as the institution would provide more than just teacher education.[54]
A planning committee with Tannock, Horgan, Foley and Michael Quinlan, a Catholic physician, was created and developed a plan for a private Catholic university with multiple sites in the state that could extend to other fields including nursing and medicine.[54][56] Additionally, a feasibility study was conducted by Geoffrey Kiel, a professor from the University of Queensland, and discussions with various Catholic institutions in North America and Europe.[56][58]
Former NDUS president Ted Hesburgh (taken 1961) visited Fremantle in 1988
Father Ted Hesburgh and Father Ned Joyce, who had recently completed extensive tenures as the president and vice president of the University of Notre Dame in Indiana,[59] visited Fremantle and met with the planning committee in February 1988.[58][60] They discussed the potential for involvement by the American university in the establishment of the planned institution.[58] In the following months, members of the planning committee met with the newly-appointed president, Edward Malloy, and other NDUS leaders in both Perth and Indiana.[61][60] An agreement was reached for NDUS to commit in becoming involved in the development and governing body of the university, provide on-going guidance and staff and student exchanges.[62][63][64]
Increasing the confidence of the state government of Western Australia in the feasibility of the institution, the proposal received support from both the WA LaborpremierPeter Dowding and Liberalopposition leaderBarry MacKinnon paving the way for obtaining a charter for establishment.[60] Prior to state legislation, the decision to name the planned university "The University of Notre Dame Australia" was made, after its founding partner the University of Notre Dame in the United States.[65][60] It would occupy heritage buildings in Fremantle in need of restoration, which were cheaper following the 1987 America's Cup as the colonial-era buildings didn't have many alternative use cases.[66][67][68]
The university was established through the passage of the University of Notre Dame Australia Act 1989 in the Parliament of Western Australia,[69] where it received support from both sides.[70] The Archdiocese of Perth, Catholic Education Commission and the Sisters of St John of God provided initial loans[c] and donations for property, mainly old unutilised buildings in Fremantle in need of repair.[72] The act was given royal assent on 9 January 1990 and the university was inaugurated at St Patrick's Basilica on 2 July 1991[73] where it was issued a canonical statute.[74] The basilica now serves as one of three Graduation Mass venues,[75] with the homonymous St Mary's Cathedral, Perth[76] and St Mary's Cathedral, Sydney later also used.[77]
Prior to the decision to select Fremantle as the sole campus, the state government had offered the university a 150-hectare (370-acre)land grant[78] in the Alkimos region north in Greater Perth.[79][80] Under the plan, its main campus would have been built on publicly-owned land and would have been treated in effect as any other university in the state.[81][82][83] The state government believed that the campus could potentially increase the land value and population of the then sparse region, creating potential income and increasing investment from the private sector.[84][85]
The planning committee saw the main Alkimos campus as vital to the expansion of the university, with the existing development in Fremantle being perceived as limiting to student population growth and subsequent funding.[86][87] Although the proposal was discussed extensively between the university and both sides of the state parliament,[88][83] it led to a collapse of the Labor majority when the disillusioned Frank Donovan left the party.[89] Support for the deal was later rescinded by the Liberal-National coalition and a parliamentary investigation was launched against the Lawrence government.[79][87][78] Following a motion of no confidence and the subsequent election of Richard Court as Premier of Western Australia in 1993,[78] the proposal was formally withdrawn.[88][83] As a result, Notre Dame remains the only university established in Western Australia to not receive a land grant by the state.[82]
Notre Dame had 50 postgraduate students in its first year, including teachers from the state’s Catholic school system,[90][91] and the NDUS also sent 25 study abroad students to spend a semester at the campus.[92] The latter program was repeated each semester and the students were accompanied by a staff member.[91] Classes commenced in February 1992[92] and the first graduations were held at Fremantle Town Hall later that year.[91] Undergraduate programs began in 1994, when the university first enrolled school leavers, with approximately 570 students during the first year.[93][94] It also opened a regional campus in Broome that same year located in the northern Kimberley region.[95] Additional schools were founded soon after opening in other fields of study.[96][94] A target was set by the university to reach 2000 students by 2000 in Fremantle.[94]
The university was also itself responsible for securing funding to restore and convert purchased buildings,[97] its growth and restoration work contributing to it becoming ubiquitous[98][99] with the West End heritage area of Fremantle as a university town.[100][101][102] The influx of staff and students formed a symbiotic relationship with the city's culture and economy, and the restoration of neglected heritage buildings improved its status as a tourism precinct.[100][97] In 2012, a Memorandum of Understanding "town and gown concordat" was signed between the university and the City of Fremantle to promote closer ties between them.[103] The relationship has not been free of controversy.[66]
"The objects of the University are —
the provision of university education, within a context of Catholic faith and values; and
Sacred Heart Catholic Church, built in 1850, forms part of the Darlinghurst site
Following an invitation by the Archdiocese of Sydney,[112] a third campus was opened in 2006 by then Prime MinisterJohn Howard[113] on the site of the St Benedict's Church on Broadway in Sydney.[114] This was followed by another Sydney site in 2008[115] on the sites of the Sacred Heart Catholic Church and Sacred Heart Hospice in Darlinghurst.[116][117] Notre Dame was chosen partly for its prior experience in restoring deteriorating historical landmarks and high-density campus planning.[118][119]
The Darlinghurst site included its second medical school,[115] which made it the only university in Australia to have more than one medical school.[120] The medical school, which now has clinical and training sites across multiple states,[121] had an initial enrolment of 100 students from New South Wales, Queensland and Victoria.[122]Pope Benedict XVI also visited the newly opened medical school that same year at the Sacred Heart Catholic Church[123] and adjoining Benedict XVI Medical Library, which is named after him.[124][d] The buildings together with the Sacred Heart Health Service[124] and adjacent St Vincent's Hospital[116] forms key components of the St Vincent's Integrated Healthcare Campus.[125][126]
The establishment of the Sydney campus was funded primarily by the Archdiocese of Sydney and the Sydney Catholic Education Office, with additional funding from the federal government.[127][107] Existing property surrounding the sites such as Pioneer House on Broadway were also restored[128] and new buildings were built to accommodate the future growth of student population.[127][112] The Sydney Catholic Education Office also donated property including the now-called Canavan Hall building,[127] which houses the St Benedict’s Library among other facilities.[129] Constituent schools were founded and developed separately in Sydney and included a share-use agreement with University of Technology Sydney for facilities and curriculum for biomedical sciences.[130] In 2024, it acquired UTS' neighbouring Blackfriars campus.[131]
Campuses and buildings
Notre Dame has three campuses.[132] Its largest campus is located in Fremantle,[98] the port city for the Greater Perth region[133] meanwhile its Sydney campus is split across two sites in the Inner West of the city.[134][135] It also has a regional campus in Broome, far north in Western Australia in the Kimberley region.[95] It is the only university in Australia to have major campuses on both the east and west coasts[136] and students can apply to switch between campuses during their studies.[137] Additionally, the School of Medicine in Sydney also has eight clinical schools located across New South Wales and Victoria.[138] Notre Dame also offers a range of online courses and programs available through Open Universities Australia.[139]
Howard Smith Building, built in 1900, is one of many colonial-era maritime buildings
The campus director Terry Craig, architect Marcus Collins, interior designer Angela Chaney and builder Bill Fairweather were largely responsible for renovating much of the early campus.[97] Subsequent purchases of surrounding buildings over the following decades expanded the campus to later becoming ubiquitous[98][99] with the precinct as a university town.[100][101][102] It is served by three libraries including St Teresa's Library,[142] the Galvin Medical Library[143] and the Craven Law Library.[144]
Customs House was constructed as a warehouse in 1888 and extended twice in 1896 and 1903.[145] It was used as a warehouse for P. Falk and Company and later the United States Navy during World War II.[146] Today, only its ornate façades remain with the interior of the building re-built in 1985.[147] Notre Dame purchased the site in 2017.[148]
Frank Cadd Building is a rendered stone structure constructed in 1890 with an arched entrance, windows and a bracketed parapet with low pier balustrading.[149] Its namesake is former Mayor of Fremantle Frank Cadd.[150][151]
Howard Smith Building is a brick and stone structure constructed in 1900 for Howard Smith Limited, then a shipping company.[156] It has a parapet with two decorative pediments.[157] It used by the School of Nursing and Midwifery.[156]
P&O Building was constructed in 1903 as a brick and stone structure in the Federation FreeClassical style with an imposing façade and arches around a central pediment.[158] It was built for the Australian Union Steamship Navigation Company, which was taken over by its current namesake P&O soon after in 1913.[159] It is now occupied by the School of Nursing and Midwifery but was previously shared with Maersk and the Danish Consul.[158]
The Broadway campus with St Benedict's Church, built in 1856, in the forefront
The larger site on Broadway, where the Sydney campus provides most of its programs, is located on and around St Benedict's Church.[134][135] It was opened in 2006 following an invitation by the Archdiocese of Sydney[112] to establish campuses on church sites in need or restoration.[118][119] Notre Dame's prior experience in restoring deteriorating historical landmarks and high-density campus planning played a role in its selection over the Australian Catholic University.[118][119]
Existing property surrounding the sites such as Pioneer House were also restored[128] and new buildings were built to accommodate the future growth of student population.[127][112] The Sydney Catholic Education Office also donated property including the now-called Canavan Hall building,[127] which houses the St Benedict’s Library[e] among other facilities.[129] In 2024, it acquired the neighbouring Blackfriars campus from the University of Technology Sydney.[131]
Sacred Heart Catholic Church, constructed in 1850, forms part of the Darlinghurst site
Darlinghurst
The Darlinghurst site was opened in 2008[115] and is home to the Schools of Medicine and Nursing in Sydney.[135] It is located on the sites of the Sacred Heart Catholic Church and Sacred Heart Hospice in Darlinghurst.[116][117] It is adjacent to St Vincent's Hospital[116] and the Sacred Heart Health Service,[124] with which it forms key components of the wider St Vincent's Integrated Healthcare Campus.[125][126] It is served by the Benedict XVI Medical Library,[d] which is named after Pope Benedict XVI who blessed the site following its opening.[124][161]
Clinical schools
Whilst not formal campuses, the School of Medicine in Sydney operates eight clinical schools across New South Wales and Victoria.[138] In New South Wales, clinical schools in Greater Sydney are located in Darlinghurst, Auburn and Hawkesbury[138][f] and regional sites are located in Lithgow and Riverina.[138][g]
The Broome campus is the only campus of Notre Dame to be located outside of a state capital.[132] It was opened in 1994 in the Kimberley region north in Western Australia.[95] It received funding from and was established by the Sisters of St John of God on the former site of a Catholic boarding school.[170][171][172] The buildings are located near the epicentre of the town and was restored and renovated for use.[173] The 4-hectare (10-acre) campus has its own library,[174] some limited student accommodation[175] and grew to offer vocational and baccalaureate courses in nursing, teaching and commerce.[176]
Affiliated institutions
Notre Dame also offers studies at affiliated institutions outside of its three campuses.[177][178] In spite of their co-ordinated academic programs and courses, they are still separate institutions that are operated independently.[179][180][181]
Students at CIS have access to all of the amenities at Notre Dame and its academic programs are also provided at Notre Dame's campuses.[185] Students at both institutions are able to switch between campuses throughout their enrolment.[185] CIS also offers courses at Vianney College in Wagga Wagga, a regional city in New South Wales.[186]
The university is bound by its governing legislation the University of Notre Dame Australia Act 1989,[69] the University Statutes[193] and the Canonical Statutes.[74] The two main bodies in Notre Dame's governance structure are the Board of Trustees and the Board of Directors, both of which were established by the Act and with powers defined by the statutes.[193] The Act provide that the Board of Trustees: "are the custodians of the University and are responsible for ensuring that there is compliance with [the Catholic objects of the university]".[69]
Chancellor and Vice-Chancellor
The chancellor of the university is Christopher Ellison, who was appointed in August 2017 in succession to Peter Prendiville and took office in January 2018.[194] The chancellor is appointed by the Trustees for "a period, which must not exceed 8 years, that is determined by the Trustees, or until he or she resigns from that office or ceases to be a Trustee".[69] The role of the chancellor is mainly ceremonial; The vice chancellor is the principal academic and administrative officer and is appointed by the Board of Directors on the nomination of the Trustees.[69] Since February 2020 this has been Francis Campbell succeeding Celia Hammond who retired to run for parliament.[195] The boards also appoint the deputy and pro vice chancellors to assist and advise the vice chancellor as required.[193] The executive management include four deputy vice chancellors, five pro vice chancellors, the university secretary, several chiefs and deputies and the executive deans of the three faculties which are appointed directly by the vice chancellor.[196]
The Board of Trustees is the supreme administrative body of the university.[193] In addition to 12 representatives from the university it includes two members appointed by the Roman Catholic Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Perth; two members appointed by Roman Catholic Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Sydney and the vice chancellor ex officio.[69] Its powers include electing a chancellor, who presides the three boards, nominating a vice chancellor and appointing members of the Board of Directors and the Board of Governors.[193] The Trustees report to the Bishops of Perth, Broome and Sydney which are visitors to the university.[193]
The Board of Directors is the executive body of the university.[69] The governing legislation grants it the authority "to exercise all the powers of the University and is to have the entire control and management of the affairs and concerns of the University".[69] This includes the power to appoint the vice chancellor nominated by the Trustees, to manage faculties and the University Statutes and is the senate that confers awards.[193] It is responsible for the general administration of the university and is advised by several standing committees and the Board of Governors consisting of the Trustees and 18 other members appointed by them.[193]
Academic Council
Academic affairs is overseen by the Academic Council.[193] It is a standing committee of the Board of Directors and consists of the vice chancellor, the deputy vice chancellors, two pro vice chancellors, the executive deans of the three faculties, the directors of the research institutes, the academic registrar, the university librarian, two elected academic staff members, two elected professional staff members, one appointed undergraduate student, one appointed postgraduate student, the directors of four support divisions and other senior executives.[193]
The teaching departments at Notre Dame comprises three national faculties that comprise constituent schools, centres and research divisions.[193] The faculties, each led by an executive dean and their Faculty Board,[193] were created in 2024[203][204] to consolidate the 16 academic schools.[205][206] The establishment of faculties and academic schools is formally the responsibility of Board of Directors, with advice from the Board of Governors and the Academic Council.[193] The seven constituent schools each have a Board of Examiners consisting of its National Head of School, its teaching staff and program coordinators and the executive dean of their respective faculty.[193]

Finances
Notre Dame Campus Services at the former Commonwealth Offices Building in Fremantle
The net assets owned by the university at the end of 2023 stood at A$211.2 million.[207] The university completed 2023 with revenues of A$231.23 million and expenses of A$230.07 million, for an excess in revenue of A$1.2 million.[207] In 2023, the largest source of revenue came from annual grants provided by the federal, state and local governments followed by student fees.[207] Notre Dame is registered as an educational charitable organisation in Australia,[208] with most of its revenue dedicated to the management and maintenance of the university.[207]
During its early years, Notre Dame relied on private tuition and fundraising for scholarships.[94] Starting in 1998, the federal government gradually began subsidising tuition and providing low-interest loans for students at the university,[114][209] eventually leading to it being granted Table A status in 2021.[1] The change in designation under the Higher Education Support Act 2003 reclassified Notre Dame from a private university to a public university,[2] allowing it to access additional funding.[210]
Insignia
The Notre Dame crest with the badge affixed
Notre Dame's crest is based on design notes taken by Father John Neill, a Trustee of the university from 1990 to 2009.[211] The crest displays an open Bible at its core with the opening verse from the Gospel of John inscribed in Latin that reads in principio erat verbum translated "In the beginning was the Word".[211] The verse was chosen as the motto to symbolise everything that exists beginning as an idea.[211]
The waves below the open Bible and the Commonwealth Star represent the port city of Fremantle, where the university was founded, and Australia as a nation surrounded by water.[211] The symbols are affixed to an Oxford Blue badge over a Cambridge BlueGreek cross surrounded by a gold band that reads the university name.[211] The shades are not exact and are also used in branding as "Navy Blue" and "Sky Blue" respectively, which together with Gold forms its brand colours.[212]
The badge is also used separately for sports[213] but the full crest is used in official documents, including degree parchments.[214] Additionally, the Broome campus also has its own crest which uses different colours and integrates Aboriginal art.[215]

Research divisions
Notre Dame operates three disciplinary-specific research institutes in partnership with other research institutions and private enterprises.[216] These include:
As of 2025[update], its director was psychiatrist and epidemiologist Osvaldo P. Almeida.[223]
Institute for Ethics and Society
The Institute for Ethics and Society is a research institute in ethics, philosophy and social sciences based at the Sydney campus on Broadway.[224][225] Its key research themes are: Moral Philosophy and Ethics Education; Bioethics and Healthcare Ethics; and Religion, Culture and Society.[224] It also run lecture series and events[226] including the Scholarship at the Cathedral lectures at St Mary's Cathedral, Sydney[227] and hosts visiting scholars from overseas universities.[228][229][230]As of 2025[update], its director was philosophy professor Renee Kohler-Ryan.[231]
In 2024, Notre Dame launched the Centre for the History of Philosophy in partnership with NDUS' History of Philosophy Forum.[232][233] Its research areas broadly involve the history of philosophy,[234] with a stated aim of "exploring the deepest and oldest questions".[232] The inaugural lecture was given by NDUS Associate Professor Therese Scarpelli Cory.[234]
Nulungu Research Institute
The Nulungu Research Institute is a research institute with the stated aim to conduct "research which is transformative, decolonising and of value to Aboriginal people" that "provides an Indigenous research and academic focus for the entire University".[235] Its key research areas are Aboriginal Wellbeing; Culture Country and Language; Transformational Education; Policy, Practice and Evaluation; and Sustainable Lifeways and Social Justice.[235] Nulungu, which translates to "meeting place", is named after a waterhole that served as a pre-colonial meeting place for Aboriginal groups in the nearby Roebuck Plains.[236]Indigenous Australian culture,[i]history, knowledge, perspectives and practices are central to the institute and its research.[236] It runs on an open access basis and follows The Nulungu Way, a set of principles based on community, transparency and respect which acts as its framework.[238][239]
As of 2025[update], its director was historian and archaeologist Melissa Marshall.[240]
Library system
Notre Dame has six libraries that are spread across its three campuses.[241] In addition to its own collections, staff and students at the university have online access to journals and other electronic resources.[242] It also has reciprocal borrowing arrangements with other university libraries in Australia and New Zealand[j] and participates in the AARNetEduroam Wi-Fi roaming service.[244]
In Fremantle, libraries include the main St Teresa's Library, the Galvin Medical Library and the Craven Law Library.[241] Libraries on the Sydney campus include St Benedict's Library on the Broadway site and the Benedict XVI Medical Library on the Darlinghurst site.[245] The Broome Campus Library is the sole library on the Broome campus.[241]
St Teresa's Library in Fremantle was converted from a heritage-listed 1,200m2 (13,000sqft) warehouse constructed in 1900 on land owned by John Bateman for Bateman Hardware.[246][247] It is named after the former St Teresa's College in Minnesota (United States) from where 170,000 printed works were purchased for the library.[248][97] The NDUS Librarian had informed UNDA of the closure in 1989 and US$1 million was raised to acquire its collection.[248][97] The building was first adapted to become a university library in 1994 when only limited, low cost adaptive re-use works could be afforded, and was renovated in 2011 when a second floor was fitted into the site.[246]As of 2024[update], it is closed for further renovations and is expected to re-open in time for the 2025 academic year.[249] It will form part of a re-developed student hub situated in the Bateman Courtyard,[250] in between Henry and Mouat Street.[98]
Craven Law Library
The Craven Law Library is the law library on the Fremantle campus.[144] It is co-located with St Teresa's Library in one of several Bateman Buildings forming part of the Bateman Courtyard.[251] Established in 1997, the library holds a print collection of legal works from Australian and overseas sources.[144] In 2003, it was renamed to the Craven Law Library after Greg Craven, the founding dean of Notre Dame's law school.[144] The library underwent renovations in 2024 to include a new moot court and three tutorial rooms to form part of the wider Craven Law Centre.[251] During restoration works in 2023, the original hand-painted signage reading J & W Bateman Ltd. was revealed preserved under several layers of removed paint.[252] The shipping company, which was dominant in the early colony, had previously used the buildings as a storage site since the 1890s.[253]
Galvin Medical Library
The Galvin Medical Library, converted from a 1900 building, focusses on health studies
The Galvin Medical Library in Fremantle is contained within the School of Medicine,[254] a heritage listed building designed by architect Frederick Burwell.[255] It is home to the books and other resources in the fields of medicine, nursing and allied health.[143] Constructed from 1900 onward, the building was known as Fowler's Warehouse and served as the principal premises in Western Australia for D. & J. Fowler Ltd., the wholesale grocery company.[256] The library was opened in 2005 after Notre Dame took over its lease from the City of Fremantle.[257] It is named after the Galvin family, an early donor to the School of Medicine's establishment,[258] and extends from 38–40 Henry Street to the adjacent Pakenham Street.[259] Its has a wide entrance which at 5.5 metres (18 feet) was originally designed to accommodate two loaded horse-drawn wagons.[259]
St Benedict's Library
St Benedict's Library, on the Broadway site, is one of two libraries on the Sydney campus.[245] It is home to the books and other resources in the fields of commerce, education, law, philosophy, theology, the arts and sciences.[260] It was initially located in the main academic building but moved to the Canavan Hall,[260] situated on Grafton Street, in late 2011.[134][127] The new library was converted from an old 1,235-metre (4,052ft) warehouse[129] which was donated by the Sydney Catholic Education Office.[127] The library underwent substantial renovations in 2020.[129][261]
Benedict XVI Medical Library
Darlinghurst Hall, constructed in 1880, housing the Benedict XVI Medical Library
The Benedict XVI Medical Library, on the Darlinghurst site, is one of two libraries on the Sydney campus.[245] It is housed in the Darlinghurst Hall[k] of the former Sacred Heart School, which was constructed in 1880 and was used by the school until it ceased operations in 1986.[262][263] The school, and the adjacent St Vincent's Hospital, were both originally operated by the Sisters of Charity of Australia.[263] Notre Dame assumed control of the site some time between 2004–05,[263] though the Darlinghurst site didn't open until 2008.[115] It houses books and other resources in the fields of medicine, nursing, pre-clinical sciences, ethics, philosophy and theology.[262] It is situated on 160 Oxford Street,[264] next to the Sacred Heart Catholic Church, and named after Pope Benedict XVI who blessed the site following its opening.[124][161]
Broome Campus Library
The Broome Campus Library is Notre Dame's sole library at the Broome campus.[241] The original library was opened in 1994 at the former student residences of Nulungu Catholic College.[172][265][266][267] The secondary boarding school merged with other entities and re-named to St Mary's College the following year,[267][172] opening a new residential facility in 2008.[268] Due to space limitations, the library moved into a new purpose-built building in 2005.[266] It also hosts a collection of Aboriginal artwork, sculptures and other artefacts, some of which are on display.[174]

Notre Dame offers two routes for students to apply: a direct application and an application submitted through a shared admissions portal.[269] Applicants who want an earlier, binding decision can apply via the Young Achievers Early Offer Program; others apply through regular decision.[270] The Tertiary Institutions Service Centre (TISC) is the administrative body processing applications for prospective students in Western Australia and the Universities Admissions Centre (UAC) manages applications in New South Wales.[269] Additionally, students applying for postgraduate medicine can apply via the Graduate Entry Medical School Admissions System (GEMSAS) or the Victorian Tertiary Admissions Centre (VTAC).[269]

Notre Dame considers various factors in its admissions process including a competitive Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) or equivalent, a Grade Point Average (GPA) from prior higher education, vocational qualifications, competitive scores from a Skills for Tertiary Admissions Test (STAT) and prior work experience.[271] Additionally, the Tertiary Pathway Program is a bridging program for domestic students that provide direct entry into most courses, including a nursing stream.[272] It is a free program available during ordinary semesters or over an intensive summer school prior to the start of the formal academic year.[272] It is also open for concurrent studies to high school students during Year 12 as part of the UniPath program.[273]
Direct applications don't have a fee[274] and can include a portfolio used to determine individual qualities about the applicant.[275] Areas assessed include personal qualities, contribution to community and life experiences.[275] These factors can affect the applicant's selection rank by means of additional points granted to their selection rank.[275] Some adjustment factors include participation in extracurricular activities, the creative arts, volunteer work, sports, elite athlete status, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander status, work experience, military service in the Australian Defence Force and socio-economic disadvantage.[275] Overall, a total of up to 10 adjustment factor points may be granted.[275]
The median ATAR for undergraduates admitted into Notre Dame programs[l] in the first semester of 2024 was 82.5 (84.85 with adjustment factors), with a low of 59.25 (65.15 with adjustment factors) and high of 99.65 (99.95 with adjustment factors).[276]
The Australian Government's QILT[m] conducts national surveys documenting the student life cycle from enrolment through to employment.[290] These surveys place more emphasis on criteria such as student experience, graduate outcomes and employer satisfaction[290] than perceived reputation, research output and citation counts.[285]
In the 2023 Employer Satisfaction Survey, Notre Dame graduates had an overall employer satisfaction rate of 84.9%.[291]
In the 2023 Graduate Outcomes Survey, Notre Dame had a full-time employment rate of 86.5% for undergraduates and 94.1% for postgraduates.[292] The median full-time salary was A$70,000 for undergraduates and A$90,000 for postgraduates.[292]
In the 2023 Student Experience Survey, Notre Dame undergraduates rated the quality of their entire educational experience at 78% meanwhile postgraduates rated their overall education experience at 78.3%.[293]
Academic calendar
The academic year at Notre Dame is divided into two semesters, with summer and winter terms in between.[294] The first semester runs from February to May and the second semester from July to October, each followed by two study weeks and two examination weeks.[294] All terms start on a Monday excluding national or state-specific public holidays.[294] The weeks of term are called "Teaching Weeks", numbered from 1 to 13, although this excludes study and examination weeks.[294] Additionally, there is an "Orientation Week", informally known as "O-Week", for first year students prior to the start of each semester.[295]
Certain courses in healthcare and education adopt different academic calendars.[294] Students in these courses also have mandatory attendance requirements,[296] including placements and clinical practicums,[297] required to meet their academic requirements at the university.[298][299] As such deans must be satisfied that each student has attended all necessary tutorials, workshops and practical work throughout the semester and non-standard study periods.[296]
In Broome, graduation events are held on the same day at Nulungu Chapel for graduation Mass and another area on campus for the graduation ceremony.[305]
High-performing students at Notre Dame can have their scholastic distinctions be recognised at graduation on their testamurs and official transcripts.[306] Graduates must achieve a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.25/4 to graduate with Distinction or a cumulative GPA of 3.5/4 or higher to graduate with High Distinction.[306]
Students who achieve a 70% or higher weighed average mark (WAM) may be invited to complete an honours supervised research program.[307] These are graded in classes (e.g. First Class Honours)[306] and qualify students to enrol in research degrees such as Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) programs.[308] Student receive an additional 1 SLE[n] for appended honours.[309]
Graduates who achieve the highest WAM in each state also receive the University Medal.[310] There are also additional medals for students of each teaching school at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels.[310]
In 2023, Notre Dame had 11,579 students divided between its three campuses.[311] The student population is largely made up of domestic students,[o] with a total of 411 international students.[311] The university has been allocated an international student cap of 700 enrolments for 2025, the second-highest increase relative to enrolled international students in Australia.[313]
Student association
The Student Association of the University of Notre Dame Australia has two branches, each representing students in Perth or Sydney.[314][315] They operate both as the representative voice for students and as a provider of a wide range of services.[314][315] They are democratically controlled through General Meetings and elections, and are run by elected student officers.[314][315] The associations also support a range of services, including numerous clubs and societies, events, sports and advice services.[314][315]

The Sydney branch of the Student Association of the University of Notre Dame Australia (SAUNDA) represents students at the Sydney campuses meanwhile the Perth branch in Fremantle is abbreviated as the Notre Dame Student Association (NDSA).[314][315] Both associations have separate student-run clubs and societies,[316][317] and are governed independently.[314][315]
From 2025, both branches will be funded through the Student Services and Amenities Fee similarly to other public universities in Australia.[318][319] The fee is expected to increase the their resources and will be allocated though a staff and student committee.[320][318] For domestic students, it will be deferable through a SA-HELP student loan and international students will be able to apply for the Student Hardship Fund or other support services.[318]
Clubs and societies
As of 2025[update], there are 22 clubs and societies affiliated with the student association at the Sydney branch and 17 at the Perth branch.[316][317] Students can also organise new clubs and societies by registering them with the association, which is responsible for funding and monitoring their activities.[314][315] This approval process does not authorise them to act on behalf of the university or student association, nor does approval indicate their agreement with their purpose.[314][315] Additionally, the student association is responsible to ensure their compliance with the university objects and other policies.[314][315]
The university has limited on-campus housing capacity and relies on external student accommodation providers.[324]
Western Australia
The Port Lodge student housing facility is located at 28 Marine Terrace in Fremantle and comprises 25 beds in single and shared rooms.[324] It was originally established as Sailors' Rest[p] in 1892 for seafarers travelling to the port city.[325] It began construction in 1899 when then state premier John Forrest laid the foundation stone.[326] It was the precursor to the Flying Angel Club on Queen Victoria Street and was run by Rosa Henriques Smith, a social worker who was active at the ports.[327]
There are also other private student accommodation providers situated closer to the Perth CBD[324] and most residential colleges at the University of Western Australia also accept applicants from other universities.[328]

Personal development
Students can participate in the In Altum personal and career development program offered by the university.[331][332] It incorporates volunteering and leadership skills with the stated aim to help students "develop spiritually, to identify their own passions and gifts, and to serve the Church in a meaningful way".[333] The program involves contributing with Chaplaincy activities or a project of choice, attending formation sessions and group meetings, receiving mentorship from the Chaplaincy, taking part in a Chaplaincy Spiritual Retreat and committing to a personal prayer.[333][331] Personal projects can include liturgical activities, music ministry, organising events, leading small groups, community outreach, running movie and game nights or creating arts, crafts or other media.[333] The program lasts for one semester and runs outside of formal academic programs.[333]
In Altum, from the Latinduc in altum, translates to "into the deep" or "into higher things" from Luke 5:4.[331][333] It is a quote attributed to Jesus which is similar to the "give a man a fish" proverb but within a religious context.[334]
Exchange programs
Notre Dame offers students the opportunity to study abroad at partner institutions with which it maintains international exchange agreements.[335] The exchanges are open to students who have completed at least one semester at the university and whose degree permits studies abroad with a suitable course combination that can be credited towards their program.[335] Applicants are usually required to have achieved a Grade Point Average (GPA) of 2.5/4 or higher and must study full-time when abroad.[335] Additionally, students enrolled in some healthcare courses have restrictions in place.[335] Students enrolled in a Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) can also apply for OS-HELP student loans to cover travel, accommodation and study-related costs.[336] There is a lifetime limit of two OS-HELP loans, with higher caps for students opting to study in Asia.[336] OS-HELP loans are indexed similarly to HECS-HELP student loans with compulsory repayments over an income threshold.[336]
Notre Dame USA
The university had maintained student exchange arrangements with the University of Notre Dame in Indiana since its inception.[92] The arrangements were expanded in 2022 to allow students from both institutions to study abroad at the other while retaining grades and without additional tuition.[337] This included NDUS' Global Gateways in Europe, Asia and Latin America.[337]
In Perth, the Fremantle campus is served by the adjacent Fremantle railway station which is the terminus for the Fremantle line.[98] The railway station, which also has bus services,[338] connects the university to the rest of the Transperth network.[339]
The Board of Trustees has the ability to confer honorary degrees to "recognise distinguished achievements and contributions" in line with the university objects.[397] Although it grants the recipient the titles "Honorary Doctor" and "Hon Dr", it is an award not formally recognised within the Australian Qualifications Framework.[397] There are also variants that can be awarded for "notable eminence" in particular fields and for "significant and sustained contributions to society and humanitarian service".[397]
Notable recipients have included human rights advocates, religious figures, academics, writers, healthcare workers, retired politicians and diplomats, those associated with Notre Dame's founding or advancement and several members of the NDUS.[398]
Additionally, certain emeritus titles can also be awarded to staff for their service to the university.[397]
