Meet Alex, a remote analyst living in Teneriffe. On weekdays, Alex drops kids at school, then walks to Salt Space by 8:30am. With dual monitors at the hot desk, Alex flips between spreadsheets and video calls without juggling windows. At 10am, a confidential client call is booked in the meeting pod for privacy. Lunch is a short stroll to a local café. After a productive afternoon, Alex prints and binds a pack via the printing service, then heads off for school pickup at 3pm — no CBD commute, no parking stress.

On big project weeks, Alex uses Salt Space every day; during quieter periods, it’s 2–3 days — the pass covers it all without extra booking decisions. For inbound mail, Alex adds a personal mailing address to keep home details private.

What Is a Personal Mailing Address (and How Is It Different from a PO Box)?

A personal mailing address is a real street address you can use for receiving personal mail and parcels. Unlike a typical PO Box, it can accept deliveries from most couriers (e.g., Australia Post, DHL, FedEx, Toll).

  • Real street address: looks professional and is easy to use for important mail.
  • Courier-friendly: suitable for parcel deliveries that many PO Boxes can’t accept.
  • Privacy-first: avoid revealing your home address on letters and packages.

Why Choose a PO Box Alternative in Brisbane

PO Boxes suit some people, but they have limits. If you want courier parcels, easier pickup, and a real address in a friendly location, a personal mailbox rental in New Farm can be a better fit:

  • Courier deliveries accepted (a common PO Box limitation).
  • Convenient pickup during staffed business hours.
  • Central location in New Farm (near Merthyr Village) with nearby parking.

The Best Place in New Farm to Sit an Online Exam: A Quiet, Private Meeting Pod You Can Book 24/7

2025 Guide

The Best Place in New Farm to Sit an Online Exam: A Quiet, Private Meeting Pod You Can Book 24/7

Need a reliable, private space for a proctored online exam in Brisbane? The Salt Space Meeting Pod in New Farm is a 1–2 person room with fast Wi-Fi, air-conditioning, natural light, optional monitor (HDMI & USB-C), access to kitchens, complimentary tea/coffee/milk, and free printing. You can book it 24/7 (weekend surcharge applies) by the hour or for a full day — and it’s seconds from Merthyr Village for a pre-exam caffeine hit.

Quick navigation

Why online exams have strict room & tech rules

Modern proctoring platforms (used by universities and certification bodies) maintain exam integrity by enforcing private, interruption-free rooms, a clear desk, good lighting for your face and hands, working webcam/microphone, and stable internet. Many also require a room scan (including under the desk and the doorway), no third parties entering the space, and restrictions on accessories (e.g. headsets not allowed or single-monitor only). Because not meeting these can lead to delays or cancellations, choosing a dedicated, exam-ready space matters.

How the Meeting Pod maps to exam requirements (box-by-box)

Common requirementHow the Meeting Pod helps you comply
Private, enclosed room with no interruptions The Meeting Pod is a private, sound-controlled 1–2 person room. Shut the door and focus without café noise or passers-by. It’s designed for calls, interviews and online exams.
Clean desk & quick room scan (desk surface, under desk, doorway) The Pod’s compact footprint makes tidying simple. Arrive early, keep the surface clear, and be ready to show the room on camera in seconds.
Face, hands, keyboard/mouse visible on camera The seating and desk depth make it easy to frame you + workspace. If your rules permit an external camera, there’s room to position it.
Stable internet with system checks Fast, reliable Wi-Fi is included (details on Pod signage). You’re welcome to arrive early to connect and run your provider’s system test before starting.
Restrictions on headsets and external monitors The Pod offers an optional monitor (HDMI/USB-C) for permitted exams. If your rules ban external displays or headsets, simply don’t use them. Stick to your laptop mic/speakers and single screen if required.
Comfort (lighting, temperature, breaks per rules) Air-conditioning and natural light keep you comfortable. You’ll also have access to shared facilities with complimentary tea/coffee/milk.

“Arrive early” playbook: a smooth, low-stress exam start

Use this simple timeline to reduce nerves and avoid last-minute surprises:

T-60 to T-45 minutes: Park, coffee, settle in

  • There’s good availability of free street parking nearby; buses 199 & 196 stop close by.
  • Grab a pre-exam coffee at Merthyr Village next door (local cafés).
  • On arrival at 888 Brunswick Street, head up the stairs — the Meeting Pod is through the glass door on your left. Need help? Go through the glass door on the right to reception and ring the bell.

T-45 to T-30 minutes: Set up your space

T-30 to T-20 minutes: Network & software checks

  • Connect to the Pod’s included Wi-Fi (details on signage inside the Pod).
  • Run your exam provider’s system check and confirm camera/mic access.
  • Quit apps that could interfere (pop-ups, sync tools) so proctoring software connects cleanly.

T-20 to T-10 minutes: Camera framing & scan prep

  • Frame the webcam so your upper body, hands, keyboard and desk are visible.
  • Be ready to scan the room: desk surface, under the desk, and the doorway.

T-10 to Start: Calm launch

  • Open your exam dashboard, keep your ID handy, silence your phone (unless required for check-in).

I Need a Business Address for ASIC & ABN Registration

2025 Guide

I Need a Business Address for ASIC & ABN Registration

If you’re saying “I need a business address for ASIC and ABN registration,” here’s exactly what regulators expect—and how a Salt Space Virtual Office in New Farm can meet those rules while keeping your home private.

Quick navigation

Why you need the right address

Company registrations and ABN applications ask for specific address types. Some must be a physical street address (not a PO Box) and changes must be reported promptly. Choosing a compliant address from day one avoids rework and penalties.

What ASIC requires (company addresses)

Two key addresses for companies

  • Registered office address: physical street address in Australia, not a PO Box; where official notices are sent; appears on the public register.
  • Principal place of business: the main location where business is carried on; must be a physical street address in Australia (not a PO Box).

If you don’t occupy the premises, you need consent to use the address. Address changes must be notified to ASIC within 28 days.

Source language (in plain terms)

ASIC and business.gov.au describe these as physical street addresses in Australia (no PO Boxes) and require updates within 28 days if details change.

What the ABR requires (ABN application)

Your ABN application asks for your business contact details (including address) and a postal address for correspondence. Keep your ABN details up to date—ABR/ATO expect updates within 28 days when things change.

Using a Virtual Office address

Virtual Office = ASIC-compliant address

A Virtual Office with a real street address can be used as your registered office and/or principal place of business if it’s a physical Australian address (not a PO Box) and you’re authorised to use it.

  • Physical New Farm street address (inner-north Brisbane)
  • Mail receipt for official notices
  • Written consent to use the address
  • Easy updates if your details change

Get a Virtual Office Address →

Step-by-step setup

  1. Choose the provider: select a Virtual Office with a physical street address (no PO Box) and business-hours presence.
  2. Get written consent: obtain permission to use the address as your registered office/principal place of business.
  3. Apply: enter the address in your ASIC company application and ABN application.
  4. Stay compliant: if your address changes, notify ASIC and update ABR/ATO within 28 days.

Physical Australian street address (not a PO Box) Real New Farm address suitable for ASIC “registered office” and “principal place of business” use

How long do I have to update my address if it changes?

Virtual Office Brisbane: Business Address, Mail Handling & Flexible Add-Ons

A virtual office gives you a professional business address in Brisbane, reliable mail handling, and the flexibility to add workspace only when you need it—without the cost of a full-time office. If you’re a startup, consultant, tradie, freelancer, or interstate team expanding into Brisbane, a virtual office helps you look local, meet clients professionally, and keep your home address private.

📍 Brisbane business address ✅ Google Business Profile support 📬 Mail & parcels handled 👥 Book meeting rooms 📞 Private meeting pod 🧑‍💻 Hot desks on demand
Quick start: Explore the Salt Space Virtual Office in New Farm, Brisbane. Add Personal Mailing Address or pay-as-you-go mail forwarding credits anytime.

What is a virtual office?

It’s a physical business address and mail handling service—without a permanent desk lease. You can receive mail and parcels at a recognised Brisbane address, use the address professionally, and layer on workspace (meeting rooms, phone booths, hot desks) only when your week requires it. It’s the modern fit for hybrid work and solo operators who want a credible, searchable presence.

Google Business Profile address verification (included)

Your Salt Space Virtual Office includes support for Google Business Profile (GBP) address verification. We help you complete the process promptly and correctly so your business can appear on Google with a verified Brisbane address.

    Important: Google controls the verification method (e.g., postcard, video verification, etc.) and the final approval. We support the process and provide timely information, but verification outcomes are determined by Google.

Looking for a pet‑friendly coworking space in Brisbane where your dog is welcome and you can still get deep, focused work done? At Salt Space Coworking in New Farm—just minutes from Teneriffe, Newstead, Fortitude Valley and Brisbane City—we embrace a relaxed, professional environment where well‑behaved dogs (and considerate humans) can enjoy the workday together.

Why pet‑friendly coworking in inner‑Brisbane?

For many Brisbane professionals—consultants, creatives, tech freelancers, solo founders—dogs are part of daily life. But home offices can be isolating and cafés are rarely ideal for client calls or focus work. Pet‑friendly coworking offers the sweet spot: a calm, professional space in a leafy suburb, with the flexibility to bring your dog while you meet clients, collaborate, or work quietly.

Top reasons our members choose pet‑friendly coworking

  • Community without the commute: Work close to home in New Farm, with fast access to Teneriffe, Newstead, Fortitude Valley and the CBD.
  • Professional image: Meet clients in a space that looks and feels like business—choose the meeting room or meeting pod when privacy matters.
  • Dog‑friendly culture: A welcoming, respectful environment—review our pet‑friendly policy before you visit.
  • Flexibility: Drop in for a hot desk, commit to routine with a dedicated desk, or scale to office space as your needs grow.

How a dog‑inclusive workday works at Salt Space

Every pup and workday is different, but here’s a simple outline to help you plan an enjoyable, low‑stress day in our New Farm coworking space.

  1. Check the policy. Before bringing your dog, please review our Pet‑Friendly Policy. It keeps the space respectful, productive and safe for everyone.
  2. Choose your space. Visit our hot desk page for flexible day use, or explore dedicated desks if you prefer a consistent setup.
  3. Arrive and settle. We’re street‑level for simple access. See Parking & Transport for travel tips.
  4. Work your way. Use our amenities, book a meeting pod for quiet calls, or the main meeting room for sessions up to eight people.
  5. Take breaks. New Farm is ideal for a quick walk—browse the neighbourhood guide to get a feel for the area.
