Office space in Melbourne
Rubberdesk lists 16 offices and desks for rent in the Melbourne CBD and 846 across Victoria, from a single desk to whole floors for around 300 people.

Melbourne is the biggest search market for office space in Australia and the one where coworking demand matches private offices exactly, and it is materially cheaper than Sydney for the same grade of building.

What a desk costs by area and office size
The CBD is not the top of the Melbourne market. Docklands and the inner south-east fringe both price above it for small suites, while the Hoddle Grid holds the deepest supply and the widest choice at every size.

Getting to work in Melbourne
Pick the line most of your team already uses, then the area. Every suburban train runs through the City Loop, so Flinders Street, Southern Cross, Melbourne Central, Parliament and Flagstaff each put you within a few minutes' walk of most CBD buildings, and Southern Cross is the gateway for regional Victoria and the airport bus. The tram network does the rest: the free tram zone covers the whole Hoddle Grid and Docklands, and single routes reach Southbank, South Melbourne, Carlton, Fitzroy and Collingwood in ten to fifteen minutes. Richmond and Cremorne sit at the junction where the eastern and south-eastern lines meet, which is why so many tech teams have settled there. South Yarra is one stop further on the Sandringham and Frankston lines.
Parking is easier here than in Sydney: 47% of listed offices in Victoria offer private parking, the highest share of any mainland state, mostly in the fringe suburbs rather than the CBD towers.
Coworking and hot desks in Melbourne
A dedicated desk is your own spot in an open floor with the reception, kitchens and meeting rooms shared with the private offices around it; a hot desk is the cheaper turn-up version. Shared office space and coworking desks in Melbourne are listed on the Melbourne coworking page.
Serviced offices in Melbourne: what is included
Almost everything listed for rent or lease in Melbourne is serviced or managed space, so the monthly figure is close to all-in. A serviced office is let on a single monthly agreement that normally covers rent, outgoings, utilities, high speed internet, furniture, cleaning, building security, a staffed reception and shared kitchens. Across the offices listed in Victoria, 94% come furnished, 90% are air conditioned, 85% include meeting rooms and 85% offer 24 hour access, so those are safe to assume rather than negotiate. Check the meeting room allowance, printing, whether IT support is extra, and the security deposit, which is typically one to two months.
Managed offices, a whole floor fitted to your brief on a two or three year term and priced per floor rather than per desk, are a real option in the CBD and Docklands and suit teams of twenty upwards. The operators with the most listings in Melbourne on Rubberdesk are Corporate Cubes, Hub Australia, IWG, @Workspaces and The Commons.
