Who we are

Established in 2016, Nineteen Degrees draws on over 15 years of independent experience working in the educational travel and development sectors in Asia and university global mobility offices in Australia. We deliver tailor made faculty-led placements for undergraduate students in the disciplines of nursing, midwifery and allied health.

Specialising in international short-term mobility throughout Cambodia, Northern Laos, Thailand and Northern Vietnam we work at the heart of the communities we operate in.

We also operate as a social enterprise to offer an affordable and ethical service to Australian tertiary students. Our staff aren’t incentivized by commissions, KPIs or bonuses and all of our programs are community-led meaning that all decisions have been planned with the community involved.

We are passionate about social justice and working inclusively with the community groups we have committed to support. Our ultimate goal is to remove barriers preventing access to sustainable health care and education and listen to our partners and what they need. We are innovative, creative and sometimes a little crazy but we hope our curiosity in learning and living to the max never stops and that we can share our passion with as many young Australians as possible.

We are a registered partner of ReThink Orphanages who strive to end global orphanage voluntourism and an active International Education Association of Australia (IEAA) member.

We currently work with over 10 Universities across Australia as true partners to developing, operating and monitoring their learning abroad programs.

health students focus on focus and teamwork at their community health placement in asia.jpg — **Why the name Nineteen Degrees?**

Good question!
Our name was chosen for multiple reasons:
1.    As a connection to the circle of latitude at 19 degrees which runs across the majority of the destinations in Asia we operate in
2.    The term ‘degrees’ relates to the University sector
3.    Well it’s memorable!

“I really enjoy working with Nineteen Degrees. I like to know I am being listened to and getting responses in a timely manner to my requests. The field studies run so much more smoothly with Fiona and her team.”
