About Nexefy

A readiness company, made in Brisbane.

We’re learning designers, developers and 3D artists in Fortitude Valley. For twelve years we’ve designed the driver education used by five state governments, award-winning training for rail and Defence, and now Croozn. Today that work runs on one platform, built to get people ready for the moments that matter.

Our story

The experience behind it isn’t new.

For more than a decade, our team has built immersive learning for government and enterprise across roads, rail and Defence.

In roads, that work moved learner licensing from paper tests and service centre queues to online courses that teach why road rules exist as well as what they are. Since 2020, learners in five states have completed more than 26 million quizzes and 2.7 million tests on Nexefy platforms.

Along the way we learned that VR, apps and courses are only ways of getting people ready. So we start from the task, then choose the tool, and we’ve built the Nexefy Platform to find the gaps, fix them, get knowledge to people and keep it right.
