Three Best Coworking Spaces in Melbourne

Ideal for creative entrepreneurs and established businesses alike, these collaborative workspaces in central Melbourne have everything you need to grow and succeed.

Ranked as one of the most livable cities on earth, Melbourne prides itself on offering stability, strong healthcare and education services, a rich culture and entertainment scene, and excellent infrastructure to boot. It’s easy to get around the city with an elaborate tram network in place, and there’s something for everyone to explore at every head turn.  

Start with the graffitied laneways that are lined with trendy bars and hidden gems besides the eye-catching street art. Then head to Queen Victoria Market for some gourmet delights or make a reservation at a world-class restaurant for a distinct fine dining experience. Sports enthusiasts have exhilarating sporting events to enjoy all year, while the vibrant arts and culture scene will absorb history buffs and art lovers alike. Add in the gorgeous bayside location and many of Australia’s natural wonders, and you’ll have plenty of ways to connect with nature.  

Melbourne is also home to countless national and international companies and additionally puts inspiring coworking spaces at office workers’ disposal. So when you’d like to boost your productivity, want to meet fresh new faces, or just need a change of scenery, pop into one of our coworking spaces in the heart of Melbourne.  

Before picking the ideal workspace for your needs, you might want to spend a day in each to see which suits you best. Take advantage of our monthly WeWork All Access membership that, as its name suggests, allows you to test all three locations. One might win you over with its refreshing outdoor space, another may woo you with expansive city views, or you may end up choosing a space that welcomes both you and your furry companion. Let’s see which of them will be your favorite.
