What Is A Coworking Space?
A coworking space is a shared ‘office’ where you can work on a temporary (or long-term) basis, with various services such as internet, kitchen facilities and meeting rooms. You can also network with others, collaborate on projects and maybe even meet your future business partner.
Why Use A Canberra Coworking Space?
As a digital nomad currently house-sitting in Australia, I run my business from the houses I look after. Yet, working alone can be lonely at times and online networking just isn’t the same as meeting with like-minded folks over a coffee by the beach at a cool coworking space.
You might feel extra motivation by being surrounded by others with a similar attitude, greater discipline of set working hours, and a professional background in which to conduct business. There are even dog-friendly co-working spaces, so dog lovers can add pats and belly rubs to their morning routine.

Questions To Ask Before Selecting A Canberra Coworking Space
Some good questions to ask your coworking space before signing up for a membership:
- Do you offer a free/discount trial?
- What do your memberships include? Are there any additional costs?
- What type of industries do your coworkers work in?
- Do you run any networking or social events?
Now you know what to look for in a coworking space and the prices/services each one provides… you can get coworkin’. A great coworking space has the right balance of sociability and quiet; the right amount of work and play. Plus, more practical things like good opening hours, parking, affordability and fun perks.
There is a Canberra coworking space for every budget and business. Which one will you choose?
