The year 2000 marked the beginning of an exciting new era of health education with the launch of Notre Dame University's fifth college, The College of Health and with this, the beginning of a partnership with FMC Australia.

Notre Dame University saw a genuine need to approach the care of people in a whole new light. In response to this need, the College of Health introduced degrees in Nursing, Counselling and Applied Psychology. This amalgamation of three different yet complementary streams of health education sets the College of Health apart from programs currently offered in Western Australia.

To cater for the new College of Health, FMC Australia assisted Notre Dame through the medium of a capital fundraising campaign. The money raised assisted with the conversion of the century old Challenge Bank Building in Fremantle into a state-of-the-art learning facility.
