1 office space for rent in Canberra at Keep Co Workspace

Measured across live listings as at September 2026, the median private office in Canberra's city centre is $585 per desk per month, against $585 across the territory as a whole. That is the widest gap between a centre and its surroundings of any Australian capital: Civic prices like a Sydney fringe suburb, while the town centres and the light rail corridor price well under it. The figure is all-in: rent, outgoings, utilities, internet, furniture, cleaning, security and reception on one monthly agreement. Figures come from live listings and refresh weekly.

Almost everywhere else in the territory. The ACT median of $585 a desk against Civic's $585 tells the story: Dickson and Braddon on the light rail, and the town centres at Belconnen, Woden and Tuggeranong, carry the newer coworking floors and smaller serviced suites at a fraction of the city rate. The choice is usually made by department rather than by price: Woden for health and social services, Belconnen for the northern suburbs and the statistics bureau, Barton and Parkes for the parliamentary triangle. If your work is not tied to a building, the light rail corridor gives you a Civic commute of a few minutes at a town centre rate.

Effectively everything except your own phone and IT choices. The monthly fee normally covers rent, outgoings, utilities, high speed internet, furniture, cleaning, building security, a staffed reception, and shared kitchens and breakout space. Every office listed in the ACT comes furnished, 96% offer 24 hour access and 92% have a staffed reception. Meeting rooms are included in only 58%, the lowest share in the country, so ask about the room allowance before you compare rates. Check also printing, whether IT support and phone lines are extra, the arrangements for visitors who need a security clearance if your contract requires them, and the security deposit, which is typically one to two months.

More easily than in any other capital. 63% of the offices listed in the ACT include private parking, the highest share in the country, and paid all-day parking is available in every town centre and around Civic. Most people in Canberra drive, and the operators plan for it. If you would rather not, the light rail runs from Gungahlin down Northbourne Avenue through Dickson and Braddon to the city interchange, and the rapid bus routes connect the town centres to Civic in fifteen to thirty minutes. Canberra airport is fifteen minutes from the centre, which matters for the interstate consulting and contracting teams that make up much of the demand here.

Days rather than weeks. The room is already furnished, wired and staffed, so the agreement and the deposit are usually the only delay, and a week or two is typical. Canberra holds 52 flexible listings in the centre with offices for up to about thirty people, so a larger team needs a managed floor fitted to its brief, which takes four to twelve weeks, or a split across two suites. If you have a date, say so at the outset and we will shortlist only buildings that can meet it. There is no charge to you.
