The University has campuses in Fremantle, Western Australia, Broome, Western Australia and Sydney, New South Wales. The Fremantle and Broome campuses form Western Australia's smallest university, with just over 7000 students enrolled. In percentage growth terms, however, it is one of Australia's fastest growing universities, with an increase in student load of more than 13% in 2008 compared with 2007. In 2006, Notre Dame Australia established its first campus in Sydney in the suburb of Chippendale close to the CBD. The small campus occupies part of the complex of St Benedict's Church, with which it retains close ties. There are over 2200 students enrolled in Arts, Business, Law and Nursing courses.In 2008 the first cohort of students commenced at the newly-built medical school at the Darlinghurst Campus. The clinical schools for the Darlinghurst campus include St Vincent's Hospital, which is immediately across the road. In line with the Commonwealth Government's priorities for higher education, in 2009 Notre Dame signed an interim agreement for Mission based compacts with the Commonwealth, outlining its goals as well as its vision for a unique place in Australian higher education. |
