Hunting for a coworking space in Brisbane that’s actually practical—easy booking, straightforward day passes, quiet areas for calls, and extras like monitors and amenities when you need them? This guide breaks down the best options across the CBD and city-fringe, plus who each space suits. You’ll find quick feature badges (🐶 dog-friendly, 🖥️ monitors, 📞 phone booths, 🕘 24/7, 🅿️ parking, and more) so you can shortlist at a glance—then we dive into price context, what to check before you book, and quick recommendations by user type.
How we picked Brisbane’s best coworking spaces
We prioritised spaces you can use without fuss: clear day-pass options, simple online booking or on-demand access, and locations that streamline your day (CBD near Central Station, or close to key suburbs like New Farm or Fortitude Valley). Amenities matter—especially phone booths and meeting rooms for call-heavy days, and monitors for ergonomics. We also considered noise profile and community vibe, because your environment affects your focus as much as the chair you sit on.
Best coworking spaces in Brisbane (and who they suit)
1) Salt Space (New Farm)
Why it stands out: A calm, friendly environment that’s unusually practical for casual users—hot desks include a monitor (HDMI/USB-C), saving you the hassle of packing a screen or struggling on a laptop alone. It’s near cafés and parks in New Farm, with a straightforward, get-stuff-done vibe rather than a big clubhouse scene.
Best for: Solo consultants, remote team members on Zoom, designers who value a second screen, and anyone who prefers a quieter, friendly atmosphere.
2) Hub Australia – Anzac Square (CBD)
CBD polish with convenience: multi-level club, plenty of rooms and quiet spots, and a rooftop area for a reset between calls. It’s above Central Station, so you can step off the train and get to work. Day passes provide access to common areas; you can add rooms when needed.
Best for: Client days in the city, teams who want an elevated clubhouse feel, and anyone stacking meetings around Central Station.
3) WOTSO – Fortitude Valley
A casual, no-lock-in brand with an energetic community feel. Their sites are known for flexible access and pet-friendly policies; many memberships also offer 24/7 access. A strong pick if you work odd hours or want a lively setting without long commitments.
Best for: Freelancers who like buzz and flexibility, small teams trialling coworking, and creators who keep late/early hours.
4) WeWork (Brisbane CBD & Inner-City)
App-based booking with multiple addresses—think on-demand desks, rooms, and day offices across CBD and inner-city sites. WeWork’s consistent amenity set (phone booths, meeting rooms, showers) makes it easy to switch locations without relearning the space.
Best for: Hybrid workers who want to book from an app and teams that need similar amenities in different parts of the city.
5) Workspace365 (CBD network, e.g., 260 Queen St)
Bright, corporate-leaning sites in prime CBD spots. Day passes are clear and meeting rooms are easy to add—ideal for interviews, training, and client sessions that need a professional backdrop without a lease.
Best for: Corporate days, polished presentations, and teams hosting external stakeholders.
6) Christie Spaces – Queen Street (CBD)
Right in the Golden Triangle, with day passes, private offices and meeting rooms. A convenient home base for back-to-back client meetings around Eagle Street and Ann Street.
Best for: Consultants or sales teams on CBD rounds and interview days that need fast room access.
7) The Precinct (Fortitude Valley)
Queensland’s government-backed innovation hub focused on startups and scaleups. The community/events layer is strong, and selected programs include free drop-in desks for founders (application/eligibility typically required).
Best for: Early-stage founders who value community, mentoring and proximity to other startups as much as desk space.
8) Workcave (Woolloongabba)
A calm, no-frills coworking space south-east of the CBD. The day pass is a handy fallback when you need deep focus without trekking across town—and it’s convenient if you’re local to the Gabba.
Best for: Solo focus days and anyone based on the south-east side who wants quick, easy access.
How much do Brisbane coworking day passes cost?
As a rule of thumb, expect $40–$60 per day across Brisbane, depending on location, amenities and brand positioning. Corporate CBD clubs tend to sit at the higher end; city-fringe spaces can be more affordable. Look beyond sticker price: if a space includes monitors or handy amenities, has convenient phone booths, or offers fair meeting-room rates, you may save time (and neck strain) that more than justifies a slightly higher rate.
What to look for (and questions to ask) before you book
- Noise profile: Are there quiet zones? Phone booths? If you’re recording, teaching or pitching, ask to sit close to booths or book a room.
- Monitors & ports: If a second screen is essential, confirm HDMI/USB-C support—or pick a space that includes a monitor by default (e.g., Salt Space Hot Desks).
- Location logistics: If your day is CBD-heavy, being near Central Station (or your client cluster) saves serious time. If you’re in New Farm, check local parking & transport.
- Meeting rooms: Check hourly rates, booking rules (buffers, penalties), and any day-pass discounts; in New Farm, see Meeting Room and Meeting Pod.
- Access hours: Need early/late? Look for plans with 24/7 access or clear after-hours policies.
- Seating quality: Not all chairs are equal. If you’re in for 6–8 hours, ergonomics matter—browse local amenities and space photos.
