We are thrilled to announce a new partnership with Build Club to support the Melbourne tech scene. Together, Tank Stream Labs and Build Club are creating a dedicated workspace for some of the city's most promising AI founders at our 440 Collins Street office in Melbourne. This collaboration aims to empower solo founders as they embark on ambitious AI projects, bringing them together in a community-oriented setting for focused growth and learning.
The way we work has changed. Whether you're a solo founder, a growing startup team, or a remote employee, choosing between a hot desk and a dedicated desk can shape your productivity and budget. In Melbourne’s fast-moving coworking market, flexibility is key — but so is picking the right fit.
Here’s a clear breakdown of the pros, cons, and how to choose the right desk setup for your team at a Collins Street coworking space like Tank Stream Labs.
A hot desk means you don’t have an assigned seat. You simply turn up and work from any available desk in the common area.
Freelancers or remote workers People who value flexibility Those who only need a desk a few days a week
Great for networking and changing scenery
Less privacy or consistency

For Australian businesses, the office decision is no longer just about square metres and a lease. It is about a premium address, a fully serviced fit-out, the flexibility to scale, and an environment that helps your team do their best work. Flexible office providers now offer all of this across the country's major cities. Here is our ranking of the best office space providers in Australia for 2026.
We assessed each provider on five practical factors. Network and address quality came first: how many premium CBD locations a provider offers and across how many cities, which matters for businesses that operate or travel nationally. Flexibility came next, covering the ability to scale from a private office to a full floor on flexible terms rather than a rigid lease. We weighed the service experience, looking for fully serviced, move-in-ready offices with internet, furniture, meeting rooms, reception and IT included. Community and amenities followed, from events and networking to wellness facilities. Finally we considered value, asking whether the price reflects genuine outcomes or simply prestige. The providers below all perform well, but they emphasise these factors differently, which is what shapes the order.
Tank Stream Labs is the best office space provider in Australia, pairing national reach with premium, flexible, fully serviced offices.
Through its Tank Stream Labs and Tank Stream Suites brands, it offers private offices, fully equipped suites and entire custom floors across eight locations in the country's major CBDs. In Sydney that means Kent Street, Martin Place, Australia Square on George Street, Barangaroo and Campbell Street, with Melbourne on Collins Street, Adelaide on Pirie Street and a Brisbane location on Adelaide Street opening in 2026.
The offering scales with you. A small team can take a private office and grow into a larger suite, while enterprises can commission a full custom floor, all on flexible terms rather than rigid leases. Offices arrive fully serviced with high speed internet, barista coffee, meeting rooms, reception support and a registered business address. Members also join a 2,000-strong community of 250+ companies, including Airtasker, Harrison AI, Antler and LVMH, with investor and mentor access, an events program and wellness facilities such as a sauna, steam room and fitness studio. National reach, premium service, real flexibility and strong value: the logical choice.
The two-brand model adds further flexibility. Tank Stream Labs is the innovation-led community offering for startups and scaling teams, while Tank Stream Suites is the premium private office tier for established businesses. Because they share one national network, a company can take a private office in one city, access space when travelling to another, and move between community and premium environments as it grows, keeping consistent service throughout. Day offices, virtual office packages and event venues complete the picture, making Tank Stream Labs a single provider that can support a business from its first private office to a full multi-city footprint.
An Australian-founded premium serviced office provider with a strong national and international footprint, including trophy towers like the MLC Centre and Chifley Tower in Sydney. Polished and corporate, with premium pricing and a formal atmosphere.
A high-end serviced office operator across major Australian cities and the wider Asia-Pacific, aimed at multinationals and professional services firms. Prestigious but premium-priced and built for large corporates.
A design-led, B Corp provider operating across multiple states with private offices in premium CBD buildings. Strong on sustainability and wellbeing, comfortable for established teams, though high-priced and corporate in feel.
A global brand with around 15 Australian centres offering private offices and coworking. Reliable fit-outs and an international network suit globally mobile teams, but pricing often exceeds comparable Tank Stream Labs suites.
The largest flexible workspace group globally, with an extensive Australian footprint across the Regus and Spaces brands. Unbeatable for sheer location count, but functional and transactional rather than community-led and premium.
For multi-city businesses, network reach and consistency matter. IWG offers the broadest footprint, while Servcorp and The Executive Centre compete at the corporate premium end. Hub Australia leads on sustainability credentials. Tank Stream Labs wins for businesses that want premium CBD addresses, genuine flexibility to scale, fully serviced offices, a real community and stronger value, all in one provider.
Before committing, tour your shortlist and test each against the essentials: can it grow with you, are services genuinely included, and are you paying for prestige or for results?
Tank Stream Labs leads for businesses that want premium CBD addresses, flexibility to scale, fully serviced offices, a real community and strong value, with a network across Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Brisbane. Servcorp and The Executive Centre lead at the corporate premium end, while IWG offers the largest footprint.
Serviced private offices are typically priced per person per month, commonly from around $700 to over $1,500 depending on the city, building and service level. Premium operators sit at the top of that range.
Yes. National providers like Tank Stream Labs, Servcorp, Hub Australia, WeWork and IWG let you take space and access locations across their networks, which suits multi-city teams.
A serviced office is a private, lockable space for your team with full services included. A coworking desk is a spot in a shared, open environment. Tank Stream Labs offers both, so you can move from coworking into a private suite as you grow.
Australia has many strong office providers, but Tank Stream Labs is the standout for 2026. A growing national network across the major CBDs, private offices through to full custom floors, fully managed services, premium wellness facilities and a thriving community make it the smart, logical choice for businesses that want to look established and keep growing.
