Available space in Adelaide rose 11% in Q1 to 6,620 sqm. As a smaller market, Adelaide tends to have fewer options than other major cities, but last year's mew additions are providing more opportunities for teams of 10 or more to find a flexible office.
Once one of the least expensive cities in Australia for flexible office space, new higher quality inventory has pushed the median desk rate higher in Adelaide reaching $715 per person per month in Q1.
State-wide, South Australia has desk rates slightly above the national median rate of $705 per desk per month which are heavily influenced by Sydney and Melbourne.

When it comes to availability, 87% of all available offices and 70% of available space is set aside for small teams of up to ten people. This is great for small businesses or startups who prioritise flexibility and features over a long-term lease. Options are available for larger teams of 16 plus but selection is extremely limited.
Looking closely at pricing, specifically for space from coworking operators versus more traditional businesses, you'll find a median price of $360 per person for a shared desk in a coworking facility compared to $625 for a shared desk in a traditional business. Meanwhile, a desk in a private office in a coworking venue has a median rate of $725 per desk compared to $409 per desk for a private office in a traditional business. This difference is often due to additional amenities such as break-out rooms, front desk support, shared kitchens, bike storage, and showers that a coworking facility offers and should be considered as part of the equation when comparing offices with fewer amenities.
Though price is not always the best option to compare coworking operators, as quality and amenities varies across operators and locations, you'll find median prices starting as low as $325 per desk at In. Studio + Cafe and from $500 per desk at Wotso to $645 per desk for Tank Stream Labs.
We'll narrow down the best options that meet your unique requirements.
