The 5 Best Co-working Spaces in Canberra to Foster Productivity and Connection
Someone I know decided to start working from home, thinking it’d be the dream setup—no commutes, comfy clothes, and all the flexibility.
But a few weeks in, productivity was tanking. They were surrounded by distractions—dirty dishes, the lure of the couch, and endless scrolling. It became clear: home wasn’t the ideal office space, at least, for some.
I’ve seen how depressing it gets day by day when someone tries working from home and struggles to stay motivated.
That’s when I thought, why not check out the top co-working spaces in Canberra? You know, places with a professional vibe that actually inspires you to get stuff done.
And that’s exactly why I put together a list of the top spots. I can almost bet these spots will have you ticking off your to-do list faster.
How much do memberships for co-working spaces cost in Canberra?
Coworking spaces in Canberra typically range from $100 to $500 per month. Costs can vary based on the location, amenities, and the type of membership you choose.
For a more budget-friendly option, consider discounted team memberships or packages that bundle additional hours or services, helping reduce costs while offering more access.
1. Keep Co
Address: 1 Dairy Road, Fyshwick
Phone: + 61 2 6153 3538
Business Hours:
- Monday to Friday: 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM
- Saturday & Sunday: Closed
Founded in 2018, Keep Co is all about giving freelancers, entrepreneurs, and small businesses a place to thrive through collaboration and creativity.
Their co-working space is fantastic. For $55 a day, you get a community-focused workspace ideal for work, school projects, or personal productivity.
Just be reminded that their meeting rooms are better for smaller groups—perfect for brainstorming sessions but maybe not for big presentations.
Regardless of this downside, printing is a breeze with their accessible area for everyday document needs (up to A3 size), so no worries about digital files piling up.
And honestly, the dog-friendly space is a game-changer. Having Lilli and Wally, their adorable resident pups, around makes the day so much brighter. It’s work but with a little extra joy on the side.
Accessible and inhabited by other motivated and creative individuals
“On my first day in this co-working space I was greeted with big ideas, little puppies, plenty of sweets & snacks, art-y things, a tomato plant, cool vibes and also funny stories. A few months into this place and I still am surrounded by such great energy. I highly recommend exploring Keep Co if you are wanting to find a creative workspace that is local (not your mother’s kitchen), accessible and inhabited by other motivated and creative individuals. DOOO IT!”

Wonderful environment full of interesting people
“I joined Keep Co at the start of the year and have really enjoyed my time working alongside other Canberra based creatives. With a strong community focus in mind, Anna and Korske have established a wonderful environment full of interesting people working on a diverse range of projects. The facilities are excellent and the open plan set up is very well laid out, with a mixture of spaces to work or take a break in. I highly recommend it for creatives looking for a coworking space away from home.”

One major drawback, though, is that on-site parking may be limited, especially during busy periods, potentially causing inconvenience for members with vehicles.
Incredibly helpful and accommodating staff
“My experience with Haven Workspaces has been nothing short of exceptional! From the moment I stepped into their beautifully designed space, I felt welcomed and inspired.

They went above and beyond to ensure all my needs were met, making the entire process smooth and stress-free.

Business Hours:

Hub Civic Quarter isn’t just a co-working space—it’s a lifestyle upgrade. Set in a modern, eco-conscious building, it’s got all the bells and whistles to keep you productive and inspired.
Memberships are flexible, starting at $59/day for casual access or $650/month for a dedicated desk. However, if you’re just starting your job or business and on a tight budget, these amounts can feel expensive, so it might be worth exploring other options.
Despite this, people have noted that their offerings are top-tier compared to other spaces in the area. Take their business lounge and cafe—stylish, comfy, and perfect for coffee breaks or casual meetings.
But that’s not all. Their end-of-trip facilities, including showers, are perfect for those who commute by bike or need to freshen up before meetings.
Fresh design with open and private working areas
“Loving the new office space at Hub Australia Civic Quarter. The fresh design, open working areas and private office, provide such an enjoyable, secure and collaborative environment. Facilities are second to none with our own Barista’s, ‘End of Trip’ change rooms and lockups and business centre conference rooms. A super attentive clubhouse management team makes business life easy and seamless. Looking forward to the years of tenancy to come.”
— Ross King, Google Review

4. WOTSO
Address: Level 2/7 Neptune St, Phillip
Phone: +61 1800 496 876
Business Hours: Open 24 hours daily
Looking for a workspace that’s flexible, modern, and stress-free? WOTSO Woden, sitting right in Canberra South’s Town Centre, is ideal for freelancers, small businesses, or anyone tired of working from home.
With memberships starting at $275 per month, you get access to coworking desks, private offices, and even free drop-ins at other WOTSO locations.
Plus, the whole area is pet-friendly (as long as it’s not in a shopping center), so your furry pals are welcome too.
And if you need extras, they’ve got meeting rooms, event spaces, and monitors you can hire—everything you need to stay productive.
However, the monitors are not included in the membership. This could mean extra costs for those who require them.
Very welcoming and comfortable space
“I own my own business and have been working from home for the past six years. I’ve always wanted to have a clear separation between home and work and Wotso in Woden has enabled me to do this. I’ve only recently joined and signed up for a permanent desk but I’m already more productive than at home and it’s the best business decision I’ve made in the last year. Chloe, the Space Manager at Woden, has been an absolute pleasure to deal with right from the start. Nothing is too much to ask and I feel very welcome and comfortable in my new space. If you’re on the fence about whether or not it’s worth it, they offer a free trial so you can come and see for yourself how wonderful it is!”
— Julia Watanabe, Google Review
Awesome space with a great vibe full of friendly people
“Absolutely love working at WOTSO Woden, it’s an awesome space with a great vibe full of friendly people. Alannah is wonderful, always available to help and very welcoming. The location is excellent with access straight into Westfield. We are a small company and this suits our business perfectly, a great way to have an office and all the amenities without the expensive overheads. Highly recommend!!”

5. JAGA Swanson Court
Address: Level 1, 33 Allara Street
Phone: +61 1800 512 150

- Monday to Friday: 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM
- Saturday & Sunday: Closed
JAGA Swanson Court is all about flexible workspaces that fit your liking. It’s a great spot to separate work from home without dealing with a long commute.
Their $30 Flexi Day Pass is a super convenient, no-commitment option for freelancers and remote workers looking for a productive change of scenery. What I really love, though, is their all-inclusive pricing—no hidden fees, no surprises.
On top of that, members get premium perks like high-speed internet, coffee, and breakout spaces to unwind.
Quick note, though: some members have mentioned the lack of childcare facilities can be a bit of a downside for parents.
Amazing and helpful staff
“Very impressed with the service and facilities provided at JAGA Swanson Court so that I can work on my business start up in a professional environment. The staff are all amazing and helpful and I love that I can book for only the days that I need or am available. There are meetings rooms available for booking for meetings of different sizes – up to 20 people, which I haven’t used but intend to in the future. I can sit at any desk and there are small seating areas that can be used for more informal discussions. I also use the Phone booths (small rooms) available for private phone calls or webinars. There are also networking events held frequently for members. Would highly recommend their services.”
— Kate White, Google Review
Positive work environment to be part of
“JAGA Is such a positive work environment to be a part of. The facilities available are outstanding, with a coffee machine, wide variety of teas, and full kitchenette’s available, a variety of free work spaces and communal areas so I can change up my scenery often. Being in an out of the office in my role, having the reception available to collect mail on my behalf has made things a lot easier and the reassurance that my property is safe behind smart lock doors put’s me at ease.”
