One app instead of a dozen group chats

Nyvo is the free community app for immigrants in Australia. Questions, events, local businesses, jobs and rooms are usually spread across many group chats. On Nyvo they are all in one place.

It is for someone who landed last month and for someone who has run a business here for years. Use it in 15 languages, on your phone or in your browser.

Questions people ask before they join

  • Where can I get Nyvo?

    Nyvo is live now. Download it free on the App Store or Google Play, or use it in your browser at app.nyvo.com.au.

  • Is Nyvo free?

    Yes. Free to install, free to browse, free to join free events. Paid events are ticketed inside the app: you pay the organiser's price plus a small service fee, shown before you confirm.

  • How is this different from Facebook groups?

    Facebook groups are big but busy: good advice is hard to find again, and scams get through. Nyvo puts your community's feed, events, local businesses with member reviews, rooms and jobs in one moderated app, in your own language.

  • Is it safe to meet people from Nyvo?

    Posts are moderated, organisers who sell tickets confirm their identity with Stripe before they get paid, and one tap reports a person, post or message to a real moderator. As with any app, meet new people in a public place first and never send money to someone you have not met.

  • What does it cost to sell tickets?

    Free events cost nothing to host or attend. Paid tickets cost 4.5% of the ticket price plus A$0.50, per ticket. By default the fee is added at checkout, so you receive your full ticket price. No listing fee, no monthly cost. Payouts run through Stripe, so you connect a Stripe account once before your first paid event.

  • Do I need to come from a specific community to use Nyvo?

    No. Nyvo is for every immigrant in Australia, whatever country you come from and however long you have lived here. Use it in any of 15 languages.

  • Where is my data stored?

    In Australia. We follow the Australian Privacy Principles. Read the full Privacy Policy.

  • How do I get my community business listed?

    Find your business in the directory in the app and claim it, or list it yourself on the Nyvo partner portal. Questions? Email hello@nyvo.com.au.
