ABOUT US Our mission

We develop and deliver high quality market access, pricing health economics & outcomes research solutions that maximise the value of health care interventions for our clients and result in reimbursed access to those health care interventions by patients with (ultra-rare) diseases who need them. We support our community and create meaningful relationships with all those around us.

At SYNEVi we are committed to optimising access to health care interventions for patients by providing market access, health economics and outcomes research solutions to the pharmaceutical, nutrition and health care industries.

To maximise and maintain the value of health care interventions throughout their lifecycle, SYNEVi also provides pricing, risk-sharing arrangements and managed access program solutions.

The consultants at SYNEVi have all the necessary disciplines with extensive local Australian and global in-house pharmaceutical company and/or academic experience to meet client’s needs. Long-standing relationship with relevant health authorities as well as insight into the payer requirements allows us to offer an extended level of market access and pricing support.

SYNEVi has a social responsibility to the community in which it works. One or more charities and/or causes are therefore supported by SYNEVi each year.

WHY SYNEVI Our experience

With an emphasis on ultra-rare diseases, SYNEVi has a wealth of experience across wide range of therapeutic areas and several different funding mechanisms:

Our expertise in rare diseases has provided SYNEVi with the unique ability to work with small and multiple datasets to demonstrate comparative efficacy and safety of the health care intervention, develop clinically appropriate and technically robust economic models as well as design and implement pricing strategies, risk-sharing arrangements and managed access programs.
