Revenue assurance and data · Melbourne, Australia

About Nova Consulting

Nova Consulting helps health, public sector and not-for-profit organisations recover revenue, stay compliant and run more efficiently. Billing and funding expertise, data analytics and automation come together to find what's being missed, and to fix the processes behind it.

One team across Australia and New Zealand

Nova Consulting is based in, and delivers across, Australia and New Zealand. The team works on both sides of the Tasman, so clients get people who understand their local funding rules, contracts and workplace laws, and who bring proven approaches from the other side.

Established in New Zealand in 2019, Nova now works with public and private health services, government agencies and not-for-profits in both countries, through an Australian and a New Zealand company.

How Nova works

Every engagement is built to stand up to scrutiny, and to leave something that keeps working after the team has gone.

01

Evidence first

Findings are built from your own data and set out clearly, each rated for how strongly the evidence supports it.

02

Practical outcomes

Recommendations come with the process, system or automation needed to deliver them.

03

Clear fees, agreed up front

Engagements are scoped up front at a fixed fee or, for revenue recovery, on a contingency basis, with options to expand once the value is proven.

04

Secure by design

Client data is handled in line with Australian and New Zealand privacy law, on systems matched to its sensitivity.

Nova's reviews are management assessments. They give you an independent, evidence-based view of what is happening and what to fix. They are not audits or assurance engagements under Australian or New Zealand auditing and assurance standards.

Part of the Nova group

Nova Consulting works alongside Nova Health, a healthcare staffing agency in New Zealand, and Nova IT Solutions, which builds and hosts the technology. Clients can draw on clinical workforce, technology and consulting support from one group.
