Accommodation

On-Campus Accommodation

Unfortunately, The University of Notre Dame Australia is unable to provide on-campus accommodation for Australian and International Students who are seeking an independent lifestyle whilst living on campus.

The University of Notre Dame Australia thus provides a referral service for those in need of accommodation.

 

Halls of Residence for Study Abroad

There are three Halls of Residence in the immediate campus precinct, allocated only for the use of Study Abroad Students here for one semester of study.

Each Hall has a Residential Supervisor allocated to look after the welfare of student residents and assist in maintaining a safe environment in which students can reside.

The residences come equipped with self contained kitchen, beds, study area with desk, common rooms with TV and computer labs with internet access.

For further information about the Halls of Residence, please contact the Housing Officer on (08) 9433 0579 or email housing@nd.edu.au

 

Off-Campus Accommodation

The Housing Officer can assist you in finding accommodation in and around Fremantle. Students are also able to access an online database of share house opportunities and rental propertiesvia the following link:
UNDA Online Accommodation Database

This accommodation service is a referral service only, therefore any lease negotiated between a student and a landlord or homeowner is the responsibility of the parties involved. No accommodation is pre-arranged or personally provided for individual students by The Student Life Office.

The local Newspapers such as the Fremantle Herald or the West Australian newspaper have extensive accommodation listings on Saturdays.

Note:
The Student Life Office maintains a database of off campus accommodation. This database is provided to University students by way of a referral service only: the University is not an agent for the people offering the accommodation or for students seeking accommodation.

The University does not guarantee or warrant the accuracy of any information provided in the database listing and the merits or bona fides of the individual offering the accommodation.

University of Western Australia Student Residences

For any students who are seeking a stronger accommodation infrastructure, may wish to consider the residential colleges at the University of Western Australia (UWA) or make other private arrangements.

St Thomas More College and Trinity are two residential colleges at UWA where Notre Dame Students are welcome to reside. The weekly full board at these colleges (as from $255 and $264 respectively) include three meals per day, cleaning of bedrooms, private phones, and facilities including library, computers, and gym facilities as well as common rooms for the students. The Colleges provide a strong support structure for all residents through student leadership positions as Resident Advisors and Academic Tutors and full-time staff who are employed to look after student interests and welfare. There is a strong emphasis on community living in both colleges.

St Thomas More College and Trinity offer their own unique culture and varying range of facilities. It is advisable to make an appointment to view the residential colleges to assess what would best suit your individual needs. Both residential colleges are located on Stirling Highway opposite UWA and are on a direct bus route to Notre Dame in Fremantle (approx. 25 mins trip).
