Virtual Office Referral for Accountants | Salt Space Coworking Brisbane

🛡️

Salt Space Coworking is AUSTRAC Enrolled & AML/CTF Compliant

Salt Space Coworking is enrolled with AUSTRAC and operates a full AML/CTF compliance program, including identity verification of all members before their address goes live. When you refer clients to us, we handle every compliance obligation. You don’t need to be enrolled yourself.

AUSTRAC Enrolment No. 2688823000  |  AML/CTF Act 2006 (Cth) as amended by the AML/CTF Amendment Act 2024

If you’re an accountant or bookkeeper, your clients regularly ask you where they should register their business. The usual answer sends them off to work it out themselves, which means you lose a touchpoint, they make a choice without your guidance, and sometimes they end up with a provider who isn’t properly set up. There’s a better way to handle this, and it creates a genuine revenue opportunity for your practice at the same time.

Salt Space Coworking offers a virtual office service at Level 1, 888 Brunswick Street, New Farm QLD 4005, and we’ve built a simple partnership model for accountants who want to offer this to clients as part of their service. You oncharge it, we run it, and we take care of the compliance obligations you don’t want.

What Your Clients Get with a Salt Space Virtual Office

A Salt Space virtual office membership gives your client a professional Brisbane address they can use for ASIC company registrations, ABN and ATO correspondence, IP Australia filings, bank account setup, invoicing, and their Google Business Profile. The address includes two business names on the one membership, per single entity, under the same beneficial ownership. Additional entities can be included on a single membership where the beneficial ownership is the same.

📬 Mail Handling
Email notification within 24 hours of mail arriving. Secure storage, scanning, or forwarding available.
🔢 Unique Office Number
Their own office number at 888 Brunswick St. Looks professional on business documents and Google.
🏛️ ASIC, ABN & ATO Ready
Permission to use address documents provided for all government registrations.
🖨️ 100 Pages/Month Printing
Included in the membership. No extra charge for standard black and white printing.
💼 50% Off Meeting Rooms
Your client gets half price on meeting rooms and hot desks when they need the space.
⚡ 1–2 Day Activation
Once verification is complete and the invoice is paid, the address goes live fast.

Mail options include scan and email, in-person collection, authorised pickup by a third party, and postal forwarding at cost. For clients who run additional companies under the same beneficial ownership, extra entities are $20 per month on the same membership. Different beneficial owners require a separate membership.

The Compliance You Don’t Have to Worry About

This is the part that matters most for your practice. Virtual office services are a designated service under Australia’s AML/CTF legislation, which means the provider must be enrolled with AUSTRAC and conduct proper identity verification before taking on a client.

Salt Space holds that enrolment. You don’t need to.

When you refer or resell our memberships, Salt Space is the reporting entity. We run the customer identification process, maintain the records, and carry the ongoing compliance obligations under the AML/CTF Act. Your role is to connect your client with a properly set up provider. What happens after that is our responsibility, not yours.

What our identity verification covers

  • Photo ID of the beneficial owner of the business
  • Secondary identifying document issued within the last three months
  • Video or photo of the member holding their ID
  • ABN or company number verification via the ABR and ASIC
  • Sanctions screening against the DFAT Consolidated List and UN lists

All ID is handled directly between Salt Space and your client. We do not require you to collect or transmit identity documents on our behalf.

Compliance task Salt Space (us) You (the accountant)
AUSTRAC enrolment ✓ Enrolled (No. 2688823000) ✓ Not required for referrals
AML/CTF program ✓ In place ✓ Not your obligation
Identity verification of clients ✓ We conduct it ✓ Not required from you
Sanctions screening ✓ DFAT & UN lists ✓ Not required from you
Suspicious matter reporting ✓ Our obligation ✓ Not required from you
Ongoing compliance records ✓ We hold them ✓ Not required from you
⚠️ Using an unenrolled provider creates risk. If you refer clients to a virtual office provider that is not AUSTRAC enrolled, they are operating outside the law from 1 July 2026. That potentially puts your client’s address in a grey area. Salt Space is enrolled and compliant, so you can refer with confidence.

📞 You can also contact Jess at Salt Space directly about any client account. As Director and AML/CTF Compliance Officer, Jess handles the compliance side of the business and can discuss any membership in detail.

Virtual Office set up

❓ Frequently Asked Questions for Accountants

Do I need to be enrolled with AUSTRAC to refer clients to a virtual office provider?

No. As an accountant referring clients to Salt Space Coworking, you are not the reporting entity. Salt Space holds the AUSTRAC enrolment (No. 2688823000) and carries all AML/CTF compliance obligations. You do not need your own enrolment to refer or resell our service to clients.

Can I add a margin when billing my client for the virtual office?

Yes. You can oncharge the service to your client at whatever rate works for your practice. Some accountants include it in a monthly retainer, others bill it as a disbursement with a handling fee. Salt Space invoices you or your client directly, depending on how you want to structure it. Contact us to discuss the arrangement that suits your practice.

Does Salt Space handle all identity verification, or do I need to collect documents?

Salt Space handles all identity verification directly with your client. We collect the required documents, conduct the verification, and maintain the records as part of our AML/CTF compliance program. You do not need to collect or transmit identity documents on our behalf.

Can my client nominate me as their contact so I deal with Salt Space directly?

Yes. As part of their membership setup, your client can provide consent specifying that Salt Space should direct all communications to you. Once in place, mail notifications, renewal reminders, and membership queries come to you instead of the client. Consent can be updated at any time if the client’s preferences change.

What happens if my client has multiple companies?

The standard membership includes two business names on the one membership. If your client needs additional entities and they share the same beneficial owner, each extra company is $20 per month added to the same membership. Where a different beneficial owner is involved, a separate membership is required.

How quickly can a referred client get their address set up?

Activation takes 1–2 business days once identity verification is complete and the invoice is paid. We provide a Permission to Use Address document with a unique office number, ready to use immediately for ASIC, ABN, ATO, IP Australia, and general business correspondence.

AUSTRAC Compliant Registered Office for Your Clients | Salt Space Coworking Brisbane

🛡️

Salt Space Coworking is AUSTRAC Enrolled & AML/CTF Compliant

Salt Space Coworking holds its own AUSTRAC enrolment and manages all AML/CTF compliance obligations. When you refer clients to us, you do not need your own enrolment to recommend our service.

AUSTRAC Enrolment No. 2688823000  |  AML/CTF Act 2006 (Cth) as amended by the AML/CTF Amendment Act 2024

Most accountants have been there. A client calls, panicked, about a letter from the ATO. It arrived three weeks ago. It sat in the letterbox of a rental property while they were interstate. The response deadline has passed. The issue that could have been dealt with quickly has now become something that needs to be managed.

A professional business address with managed mail handling stops this from happening. And as an accountant, having somewhere reliable to point clients when they ask “where should I register my business?” is more useful than most people realise.

Salt Space Coworking in New Farm, Brisbane offers virtual office memberships built for exactly this. Here’s how it works and why it’s worth recommending to your clients.

The Real Problem: Business Mail at a Home Address

Running a business from a home address is common, especially in the early years. But it creates a practical problem that accountants see regularly. ATO notices, ASIC correspondence, and legal documents arrive at residential addresses where someone might not be home, might not recognise what they’re looking at, or might simply set it aside and forget about it.

A situation accountants know well: A client registered their business at their home address when they started out. Now they’ve moved twice, changed their business structure, and their address on ASIC is two addresses out of date. A director penalty notice arrived at the old address. It was returned to sender. The first the client knew about it was when the ATO made contact through their tax agent — your office.

A managed business address doesn’t just look more professional. It means important correspondence actually reaches the right place, gets flagged promptly, and can be acted on in time.

What Your Clients Get

A Salt Space virtual office membership gives your client a professional Brisbane address at Level 1, 888 Brunswick Street, New Farm QLD 4005. It’s suitable for ASIC company registrations, ABN and ATO correspondence, IP Australia filings, bank account setup, invoicing, and their Google Business Profile. We provide a Permission to Use Address document for all government registrations.

⚡ 24-Hour Mail Notification
Your client is notified by email within 24 hours of anything arriving. Nothing sits unopened.
📧 Scan and Email
Mail can be scanned and emailed directly. Your client forwards it wherever they need it to go.
🔒 Secure Storage
Mail is stored securely at our New Farm premises for up to one month.
📮 Forwarding Available
Postal forwarding at cost, in-person collection, or pickup by an authorised person.
🔢 Unique Office Number
A proper office number at 888 Brunswick St, not a shared P.O. box or generic suite number.
💼 Meeting Rooms at 50% Off
Members get half price on hot desks and meeting rooms when they need the space.

Two business names are included in every membership. For clients running multiple entities under the same beneficial ownership, additional companies can be added at $20 per month each on the same membership.

📨 Mail Your Clients Can Forward Anywhere

The scan and email option is what makes this genuinely useful for businesses that need their accountant across their mail. When something arrives, your client gets notified. They can have it scanned and emailed, and from there they can forward it wherever it needs to go: to you, to their solicitor, to their bookkeeper, or just into their own inbox for filing.

This means time-sensitive correspondence from the ATO or ASIC doesn’t disappear into a home letterbox. It arrives at a managed address, your client is notified the same business day, and they can share it immediately. For accountants who need to see client correspondence quickly, this is a straightforward fix to a problem most practices deal with regularly.

💡 No more “I didn’t see that letter” conversations. When a client’s business address is managed by a professional service, mail arrives properly, notifications go out promptly, and the client has the tools to share correspondence with whoever needs it.

Compliance You Don’t Have to Deal With

Since 1 July 2026, providing a registered office address is a designated service under Australia’s AML/CTF legislation. The provider must be enrolled with AUSTRAC, run a compliance program, and verify every client’s identity before providing the service. Salt Space does all of this. We are the enrolled reporting entity and we carry every obligation that comes with it.

Referring clients to us does not make you a reporting entity. You do not need your own AUSTRAC enrolment. You do not handle identity verification. You make a recommendation; we handle the rest, including a full customer identification process completed before any address goes live.

This matters when choosing who to recommend. A virtual office provider that is not enrolled with AUSTRAC is operating outside the law from 1 July 2026. Recommending an unenrolled provider puts your client’s address on uncertain ground. Salt Space is enrolled (No. 2688823000) and operating a compliant AML/CTF program, so you can refer with confidence.

Virtual Office set up

❓ Questions Accountants Usually Ask

Do I need an AUSTRAC enrolment to refer clients to a virtual office?

No. Salt Space Coworking is the AUSTRAC enrolled reporting entity (Enrolment No. 2688823000). When you refer a client to us, you are making an introduction, not providing a designated service. All AML/CTF compliance obligations sit with Salt Space. You do not need your own enrolment to recommend our service.

Can my client have their mail scanned and sent to me directly?

We scan and email mail to the client when requested. From there your client can forward it wherever it needs to go, including to your practice. The scan and email service is included in the membership and is available on request when mail arrives.

Can I oncharge the virtual office to my client and add a margin?

Yes. You can build the service into your own billing at whatever rate makes sense for your practice. Some accountants include it in a monthly retainer; others bill it as a separate disbursement. Salt Space can invoice you or your client directly depending on how you want to structure it. No formal reseller agreement is required to get started.

What address will my client get and is it suitable for ASIC?

Your client gets a unique office number at Level 1, 888 Brunswick Street, New Farm QLD 4005. We provide a Permission to Use Address document for ASIC registered office registration, ATO and ABN correspondence, IP Australia filings, and general business use including bank setup, invoicing, and Google Business Profile.

My client has multiple companies. Can they all use the one membership?

Two business names are included in every membership. If your client has additional companies under the same beneficial ownership, each extra entity is $20 per month on the same membership. Where a different beneficial owner is involved, a separate membership is required.

How quickly can a client get set up?

Activation takes 1–2 business days after identity verification is complete and payment is received. Once the address is live, your client receives their Permission to Use Address document and can update their ASIC, ATO, and ABN registrations immediately.

AUSTRAC Compliant Virtual Office Brisbane – What Tranche 2 Means for Your Business Address

🛡️

Salt Space Coworking is AUSTRAC Enrolled & AML/CTF Compliant

From 1 July 2026, providers of registered office addresses are required to be enrolled with AUSTRAC under Australia’s AML/CTF laws. Salt Space Coworking is enrolled and operating a compliance program in accordance with the AML/CTF Act 2006 (Cth).

AUSTRAC Enrolment No. 2688823000  |  AML/CTF Act 2006 (Cth) as amended by the AML/CTF Amendment Act 2024

If you use a virtual office or coworking space as your registered business address in Australia, something important changed on 1 July 2026. Your address provider is now legally required to be enrolled with AUSTRAC — Australia’s financial intelligence regulator — and to verify your identity before providing the service. This is not optional, and not every provider has made the shift. Here’s what it means for your business and why it matters who you choose.

🏦 What Changed on 1 July 2026?

Australia’s Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Amendment Act 2024 — known as Tranche 2 — came into effect on 1 July 2026. For the first time, it brought a new category of businesses under AUSTRAC’s oversight: trust and company service providers, including anyone providing a registered office address or principal place of business address for another entity.

In plain English: if a business provides you with an address to use for ASIC, ABN, or general business correspondence, they are now a reporting entity under the AML/CTF Act. That means they must:

  • Enrol with AUSTRAC
  • Implement a written AML/CTF compliance program
  • Verify the identity of all clients before providing the service
  • Screen clients against Australian and international sanctions lists
  • Report suspicious matters to AUSTRAC when required

⚠️ If your registered office provider has not enrolled with AUSTRAC, they are operating outside the law from 1 July 2026. That creates risk for both them — and potentially for the legitimacy of your registered address.

📋 Why Did My Accountant Stop Offering a Registered Office?

You may have noticed that accounting firms across Australia have been quietly contacting clients to advise they will no longer act as their registered office from 1 July 2026. This is directly because of Tranche 2.

For most accounting practices, providing a registered office address was a low-margin courtesy service. The compliance overhead of becoming a reporting entity — writing an AML/CTF program, conducting identity verification on every client, appointing a compliance officer, and filing reports to AUSTRAC — simply isn’t worth it for a service they were providing at little or no charge.

So they’ve stopped. And their clients need somewhere to go.

💡 Salt Space Coworking is set up to receive exactly these clients. We are AUSTRAC enrolled, our compliance program is in place, and our identity verification process is built into our standard onboarding. You can transfer your registered office to our New Farm, Brisbane address — we’ll handle the rest.

🔍 What Does AUSTRAC Compliance Mean for You as a Client?

When you set up a virtual office with Salt Space Coworking, our AML/CTF obligations mean we need to verify a few things before your address goes live. This is standard practice — similar to opening a bank account — and most clients complete it in minutes.

🪪 Photo ID
We verify the identity of the beneficial owner of the business — the person who ultimately owns or controls it.
🏢 ABN & ASIC Check
We confirm your entity is active on the ABR and run an ASIC director search to verify ownership.
📝 Business Description
We ask what your business does and how it generates income — a brief description is all that’s needed.
🌐 International Clients
Foreign entities provide registration documents from their home country. We perform manual verification.
🛡️ Sanctions Screening
All new clients are screened against the DFAT Consolidated List and UN sanctions lists as required by law.
🔒 Data Security
All ID documents are permanently deleted after verification. Your data is handled under the Privacy Act 1988.

⚖️ How Does Salt Space Compare to an Unregistered Provider?

Feature Salt Space Coworking (AUSTRAC Enrolled) Unenrolled Provider
AUSTRAC enrolled ✓ Yes — No. 2688823000 ✗ No
Written AML/CTF program ✓ In place from 1 July 2026 ✗ Not required to have one
Identity verification of clients ✓ Completed before service ✗ Not conducted
Sanctions screening ✓ DFAT & UN lists checked ✗ Not conducted
Legal compliance from 1 July 2026 ✓ Compliant ✗ Operating outside the law
Your address protected ✓ Yes ✗ No client verification conducted

When you use a registered office provider that is not AUSTRAC enrolled, you share that address with every other client on their books — none of whom have been identity verified. At Salt Space Coworking, all new clients from 1 July 2026 are verified before their address goes live, and we operate an ongoing compliance program for our full membership base.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Does my virtual office provider need to be AUSTRAC enrolled?

Yes. From 1 July 2026, any business providing a registered office address or principal place of business address for another entity is a reporting entity under the AML/CTF Act 2006 (Cth) as amended by the AML/CTF Amendment Act 2024. They must be enrolled with AUSTRAC and operate a compliant AML/CTF program. Salt Space Coworking is enrolled with AUSTRAC (Enrolment No. 2688823000).

Why did my accountant stop providing a registered office address?

From 1 July 2026, providing a registered office address became a designated service under Australia’s AML/CTF laws (Tranche 2). Accounting firms that previously offered this service as a courtesy have stopped because the compliance obligations — AUSTRAC enrolment, identity verification, an AML/CTF program — are significant for what was typically a low-margin or free service.

What identity verification does Salt Space Coworking require?

We require photo ID of the beneficial owner of the business (the person who owns or controls 25% or more of the entity), an ABN or company registration number, and a brief description of your business activities. International clients provide foreign registration documents. All ID is permanently deleted after verification in line with the Privacy Act 1988.

Can I transfer my registered office from my accountant to Salt Space Coworking?

Yes. Set up your virtual office with Salt Space Coworking, complete identity verification, and once your address is active you can update your registered office with ASIC to Level 1, 888 Brunswick Street, New Farm QLD 4005. We provide a Permission to Use Address document to support your ASIC update. Setup takes 1–2 business days.

Is a virtual office address still valid for ASIC after Tranche 2?

Yes. Using a virtual office as your ASIC registered office remains perfectly legal after 1 July 2026 — you simply need to ensure the provider is AUSTRAC enrolled. Salt Space Coworking is enrolled (No. 2688823000) and provides written occupier’s consent and a Permission to Use Address document for ASIC registration.

How quickly can I set up a registered office address at Salt Space Coworking?

Setup takes 1–2 business days once identity verification is complete and your invoice is paid. You’ll receive a Permission to Use Address document with your unique office number, ready to use for ASIC, ABN, ATO, IP Australia, and general business correspondence.

Temporary Postal Address in Brisbane for New Immigrants (Month-to-Month, No Lock-Ins)

Brisbane newcomers guide

Just arrived in Brisbane and don’t have a stable address yet? A temporary mailing address can keep your important letters and parcels safe while you’re in an Airbnb, sharehouse, short-term rental, or still house-hunting. This guide explains the easiest way to set one up (and why it’s often simpler than a PO Box).

Jump to:

Need a Personal Mailing Address in Brisbane?
Set up online. $25 per month. We’ll email your invoice the same day. Start using the address immediately for personal mail.

Why new immigrants often need a temporary postal address

In your first weeks (or months) in Brisbane, it’s common to move between a few places before you’re settled: temporary accommodation, inspections, short leases, sharehouses, or staying with friends or family. The problem is: important mail doesn’t wait.

A stable mailing address can help you keep track of time-sensitive letters and deliveries while you get set up. Many newcomers use a temporary address for things like:

  • Bank cards and replacement cards
  • Letters that require you to respond quickly
  • Government correspondence
  • Medical or legal letters that should stay private
  • Parcels (especially when apartment buildings miss deliveries)
What you get with Salt Space

A real street address in New Farm (Brisbane) where we receive your personal mail, notify you by email within 24 hours (often with a photo of the unopened item), and hold it securely so you can collect when it suits via our Personal Mailing Address service.

Personal Mailing Address vs PO Box (why newcomers prefer the flexible option)

Australia Post PO Boxes can be useful, but they’re often not ideal for people who have just arrived and want something flexible. A Personal Mailing Address is a popular PO Box alternative in Brisbane because it’s designed for real-life moving and short-term situations.

📦 Couriers & parcels
We can receive letters and parcels from standard couriers and Australia Post during staffed hours (Mon–Fri, 8am–5pm).
🏠 Real street address
Useful when a PO Box isn’t accepted, or when you want a stable address while you’re between homes.
🔔 Email notifications
We email you within 24 hours when items arrive, usually with a photo of the unopened mail or parcel.

How to set up your temporary mailing address (simple + fast)

This is designed to be easy when you’re juggling a million moving parts (SIM card, banking, job search, inspections…). Here’s the exact setup process:

  1. Fill out the quick form (takes less than 1 minute).
  2. We’ll email your invoice the same day.
  3. Make payment online (or EFTPOS / direct deposit / international transfer).
  4. Once paid, we’ll send your “permission to use address” authorisation.
  5. Start using your new mailing address immediately for personal mail.
  6. We’ll notify you when mail arrives (within 24 hours).

Australian Business Address for UK Recruitment Agencies (Virtual Office Guide)

UK-based recruitment consultancies expanding into Australia often need a local Australian business address that works seamlessly while they operate overseas. This guide explains what features matter most for international businesses, answers common questions, and outlines a simple, cost-effective virtual office solution.

Why UK recruitment consultancies need an Australian virtual office

Recruitment firms working across borders still receive physical correspondence. This may include contracts, compliance paperwork, insurance documents, or client mail.

An Australian virtual office allows you to:

  • Present a credible Australian presence to clients and candidates
  • Receive and manage Australian mail while operating from the UK
  • Avoid using residential or overseas addresses on documents

Small boutique provider vs large virtual office chains (what UK companies notice)

Many UK-based businesses start by comparing large, well-known providers — but international billing and mail handling can be where the “big chain” experience becomes slow and restrictive. Here’s a quick, practical comparison.

What matters for UK / overseas companies Large providers (common experience) Boutique providers (often better)
International payment flexibility May be restrictive (local direct debit, local account requirements) Often flexible (international transfer + simple invoicing)
Clear, transparent pricing Can be layered (add-ons, admin fees, unclear mail fees) Usually clearer (simple base price + defined add-ons)
Mail handling responsiveness Slower (ticket systems, centralised processing) Faster (direct email communication, quicker decisions)
International forwarding May be costly or unclear how it’s charged Often straightforward (per item + postage)
Contract flexibility More lock-ins / longer minimum terms More flexible month-to-month options
Practical takeaway for international businesses: Choose the provider that makes payments and mail handling simple. If you’re overseas, those two operational details matter more than brand size.

FAQ for International Businesses (UK & Overseas)

These are the most common questions we receive from overseas companies setting up an Australian business address.

Can we pay from the UK via international bank transfer?

Business Address for Your Clients (Without Using Their Home Address)

If you’re an accountant or bookkeeper, you’ve probably had the same conversation dozens of times: “Can I just use my home address for ASIC/ABN/Google for now?” — and you already know how that ends. This guide gives you a simple, reliable option to point clients to, so you stop firefighting address problems later.

ASIC business address Registered office / principal place of business Privacy-first Google Business Profile support Mail handling + notifications

Location: New Farm, Brisbane (QLD) • Service: Salt Space Virtual Office

Send this link to clients:
View Virtual Office Details Set Up (Client Form)

No lock-in. Month-to-month available. Cancellation is simple — the client just emails before the next invoice is due.

The Real Problem: “Use your home address for now” becomes permanent

Clients often start with the best intentions — but once an address is used across ASIC, ABN, Google, invoices, websites, bank accounts, merchant facilities, insurance, and suppliers… it becomes painful to unwind.

  • Privacy risk: home addresses end up exposed on public registers and online listings.
  • Compliance friction: clients scramble for “permission to use address” after the fact.
  • Ongoing admin: updates get forgotten, and you’re the one chasing them later.
  • Client complaints: mail goes missing, Google listings fail, or addresses look unprofessional.
What accountants actually want:
One dependable address option that is easy to explain, easy to set up, and doesn’t create a support burden.

Quick answer to give clients

“If you don’t want your home address on records, use a professional street address with written consent and simple mail handling.”

When to suggest a business address service:
  • New company registration or ABN setup
  • Google Business Profile / Maps listing
  • Home-based clients (sole traders + small companies)
  • Clients who move frequently or travel
  • Clients who want a consistent address on invoices/website

What accountants & bookkeepers currently use (and why it’s messy)

Option Why it’s used Where it breaks
PO Box (Australia Post) Familiar, “cheap-ish”, easy to explain. Often becomes a half-solution: not a street presence and can’t be used everywhere clients expect (e.g., public-facing location needs).
Large providers (Regus / Servcorp) Recognised brands, feels “compliant”. Overkill for small clients, expensive, complex onboarding, and clients commonly complain after signup.
Client’s home address Fastest “for now” option. Privacy + exposure issues, forgotten updates, and ongoing admin later (your admin).
Salt Space Virtual Office One clean place to point clients.
Real street address + clear documentation + local support. 		Not a receptionist/call answering service (virtual office address + mail handling + workspace perks).

Where Salt Space is different (for accountants)

✅ A simple, accountant-friendly referral

Salt Space provides a real Brisbane street address (New Farm) with clear, written documentation so your client can use it across their registrations and public presence — without using their home address.

✅ Guidance for the tricky bit (Google)

If your client needs help with their Google Business Profile, Salt Space provides guidance and a recording setup process for video verification (where applicable).

✅ Clear inclusions your clients actually value

  • Email notifications when mail arrives + secure holding
  • Same-day setup once paid (activation + documentation)
  • Permission to use address documentation
  • Unique office number option
  • No lock-in and month-to-month available
  • Simple cancellation — notify by email before the next invoice due date
Best for: sole traders, small companies, consultants, online businesses, and any client who works from home (or travels).

A copy-paste script you can use with clients

“If you don’t want your home address showing up across registrations and online listings, use Salt Space Virtual Office in New Farm. It’s a real street address with permission documentation and mail handling. You can sign up month-to-month and cancel anytime by email.”

Send Client: Virtual Office Page Send Client: Setup Form

Client onboarding checklist (so you don’t get dragged into mail admin)

  1. Client signs up via the setup form and pays the invoice.
  2. Client receives their address permission documentation (and unique office number if used).
  3. You update ASIC / ABN / other records using the details supplied to the client.
  4. Client sets mail preferences (collect, scan, forwarding add-on if needed).
  5. When cancelling: client removes the address everywhere and emails Salt Space before their next invoice due date.

Tip: Ask the client to keep a simple list of everywhere the address is used (ASIC, ABR, website footer, invoices, Google profile, social profiles, banks, suppliers).

FAQs for accountants & bookkeepers (FAQ schema)

Can my client use Salt Space as their business address instead of a home address?

Yes. Salt Space provides a professional Brisbane street address option via its Virtual Office service, designed for clients who don’t want to use their residential address across business records and public listings.

Is there a lock-in contract for clients?

No. Clients can pay month-to-month. Cancellation is simple: they notify Salt Space by email before the due date of the next invoice.

How quickly can a client get set up?

Setup can be same-day once the invoice is paid. After payment, the client can begin using the address and receives the relevant documentation sent by email.

What’s the easiest way for me to refer clients?

Send the Virtual Office page and the setup form link. The client completes the form, pays the invoice, and receives the documentation they need to use the address.

Does Salt Space handle mail and notify clients?

Yes. Clients receive email notifications when mail arrives, with secure holding. Scanning and forwarding options may be available depending on the client’s requested handling method.

Can clients use the address for Google Business Profile support?

Salt Space provides guidance and support for Google Business Profile video verification processes where applicable. Final verification decisions are made by Google.

What should clients do before cancelling?

Before the end date, clients should remove the address from ASIC/ABN/online profiles, collect remaining mail or provide a forwarding address, and email to cancel before the next invoice due date.

New to Brisbane, Australia and Between Addresses? How to Handle Your Mail Safely

Temporary Mailing Address in Australia (Brisbane): A Short-Term Solution for New Arrivals

Just moved to Brisbane, Australia and don’t have a permanent address yet? You’re not alone. In your first weeks (or months), important mail still arrives by post — bank cards, government letters, healthcare paperwork and courier deliveries.

If you’re staying in a hotel, Airbnb, sharehouse, student accommodation, or moving between rentals, using a temporary address can lead to lost mail and delays. This guide shows a simple option used by many new arrivals to Brisbane, Australia: a short-term personal mailing address while you get settled.

Why mail becomes a problem when you first arrive in Brisbane, Australia

  • You don’t have a stable address yet (or you’ll move more than once)
  • Mail gets lost, opened, or returned in shared accommodation
  • Couriers may not deliver to PO Boxes or some temporary buildings
  • Official letters can be time-sensitive and difficult to replace

This is especially common for: skilled migrants, working holiday visa holders, international students, couples and families arriving together.

What is a temporary personal mailing address?

A temporary personal mailing address gives you a real street address you can use for personal mail while you’re between homes. Instead of relying on a friend’s mailbox (or hoping your accommodation handles deliveries properly), your mail is received at a staffed location, stored securely, and you’re notified by email when items arrive.

In Brisbane, Salt Space Coworking (New Farm) offers this as a simple subscription for people in transition. You can learn more or sign up here: https://saltspace.com.au/personal-mailing-address/

Personal mail only:
This service is for personal use only and must not be used for business registration or Google Business listings. If you need a business address, you’ll need a separate Virtual Office service.

No lock-in — ideal for short-term use

Many new arrivals only need an address briefly — while waiting on housing, starting work, or finishing paperwork. This service is designed for that reality.

  • ✔️ Use it for as little as one month
  • ✔️ No long-term contracts
  • ✔️ Continue month-to-month if plans change

Cancellation is simple: just email us before your next invoice date to cancel.

Why this is better than the usual alternatives

Friend / relative / sharehouse address

  • Mail can be misplaced, opened, or forgotten
  • Not ideal for privacy or official documents
  • Becomes messy if you move suburbs or cities

PO Box

  • Not a street address
  • Some couriers can’t deliver
  • Often less flexible for short-term situations

A personal mailing address is a stable, simple “bridge” while you get properly settled in Brisbane, Australia.

Good option for couples and families

One subscription can include up to four names (a primary contact plus three additional people). That’s helpful for couples and families receiving multiple letters and cards under different names.

How to get started

  1. Sign up online (takes under a minute)
  2. Receive your invoice by email
  3. Pay online
  4. Start using your new mailing address immediately
  5. Receive email notifications when mail arrives

View details & set up your temporary mailing address

Before you cancel:
Update your address with banks and government services, and collect or forward any remaining mail.

Features that suit new immigrants to Brisbane, Australia

  • Email notifications when mail arrives
    You’ll know when something important arrives, even if you’re busy or travelling.
  • Secure holding of letters and parcels
    Your mail is stored safely at a staffed office — not left in a shared letterbox.
  • Accepts parcels from standard couriers
    Useful for bank cards, online orders, documents and official deliveries.
  • Optional scan & email of mail
    Helpful if you can’t visit in person or are still moving around.
  • Optional mail forwarding (Australia or overseas)
    If you relocate again or travel, your mail can follow you.
  • One address while everything else changes
    Keeps your paperwork stable even if your accommodation isn’t.

FAQs for New Arrivals to Brisbane

Can I use this as a short-term address for just one month?

Yes. There’s no lock-in — you can use it for as little as one month and keep it month-to-month if your plans change.

How do I cancel?

Cancellation is simple. Email us before your next invoice date to cancel. Please remove our address from your accounts and collect or forward any remaining items.

Can my partner and kids use the same subscription?

Yes. You can include up to 4 names (primary contact + 3 additional names). This is ideal for couples and families.

Is this better than using a friend’s address?

For many new arrivals, yes. A dedicated service is more reliable for privacy and reduces the chance of lost or misplaced mail, especially when you’re moving between rentals.

Is this better than a PO Box?

If you need a real street address and more flexibility while settling in, a personal mailing address can be easier than a PO Box. PO Boxes aren’t street addresses and may not suit all delivery situations.

Can I use this for business registration or a Google Business Profile?

No. This service is for personal mail only. If you need a business address, you’ll need a separate Virtual Office service.

Where is the address located?

New Farm, Brisbane, Queensland. Full details and sign-up are on the service page.

Coworking Space for Remote Tech Teams in Brisbane

Cost-effective desk setups with monitors included, designed for remote teams who meet in person once or twice a month.

Brisbane coworking for remote teams

If your team only needs to work together in-person once or twice a month, you don’t need a full-time office lease or expensive memberships. You need a reliable, cost-effective coworking option that includes proper desk setups — especially monitors.

Book team desks View Hot Desks Meeting Room
Tip: Booking in advance helps us reserve a cluster of desks together for your team day.

Remote work has changed how teams operate — but it hasn’t removed the need to occasionally meet in-person. For many distributed teams (especially tech teams), the real challenge isn’t “finding an office”. It’s finding a coworking space in Brisbane that supports:

  • Occasional collaboration days (e.g. once or twice a month)
  • Proper desk setups with monitors
  • Group seating (so your team can sit together)
  • Simple pricing without lock-ins or long-term contracts

This guide explains what to look for — and a practical model that works well for remote and hybrid teams.

Why monitors matter for tech teams

Laptops alone aren’t ideal for coding, analysis, design reviews, or long collaborative workdays. A monitor setup can improve comfort and productivity — and it keeps team days smooth (no one has to bring extra equipment).

What to confirm when booking:
  • Monitors are included at desks (not an extra add-on)
  • Connectivity suits modern devices (HDMI + USB-C is ideal)
  • Desks are large enough for real work (not café-style tables)

What to look for in a coworking space for team days

1) Group-friendly pricing

You want a clear per-person, per-day rate — without forced memberships.

2) Desk clustering

Sitting together matters for collaboration. Advance booking makes this possible.

3) Reliable setup

Monitors, stable Wi-Fi, power access, and a focused environment.

4) Hours that work for teams

Even if the space closes at 5pm, it helps if you can stay later to finish the day.

A practical coworking model for remote teams in Brisbane

At Salt Space Coworking (New Farm), we regularly host remote and hybrid teams who come together once or twice a month. Here’s a simple model that keeps it cost-effective:

  • Group bookings (5+ people): $25 per person, per day
  • All hot desks include a monitor with HDMI + USB-C
  • Opening hours: 8:00am – 5:00pm (Mon–Fri)
  • You’re welcome to stay later into the evening — no one can enter after 5pm without a building access pass
  • No ongoing commitment — book only the days you need

If your team also needs a private space for planning sessions, workshops, or presentations, you can pair your desk day with our Meeting Room.

Book Now See Hot Desk options

Why this works better than traditional memberships

For remote teams, the biggest win is paying only for the days you actually use — without wasted spend or admin complexity. This model offers predictable costs, proper desk setups, and simple booking.

  • Predictable per-person cost for team days
  • No monthly memberships sitting unused
  • Consistent monitor setup for tech workflows
  • Reduced admin (no managing multiple individual plans)
  • Better collaboration when desks are reserved together

FAQs: Coworking for remote teams in Brisbane

Can we book desks together for our team day?

Yes — the best way is to book in advance so we can reserve a cluster of desks together for your group.

Do your desks include monitors?

Yes. All of our hot desks come with monitors included, with HDMI + USB-C connectivity.

What are your opening hours?

Our standard hours are 8:00am–5:00pm (Mon–Fri). You’re welcome to stay later into the evening — just note that no one can enter after 5pm without a building access pass.

Do we need a membership or ongoing commitment?

No — there’s no lock-in. You simply book the days you need.

What if we need a private space for planning or workshops?

You can book desks for individual work and add a Meeting Room for dedicated team sessions.

Ready to book your next team day?

Book ahead to reserve a cluster of desks together — simple, cost-effective, and monitors included.

Need an Australian Address for IP Australia? A Virtual Office Built for Overseas Trademark Attorneys

If you’re a trademark attorney or IP professional based overseas (Europe, UK, US, Asia), you may occasionally have clients who want to register or manage a trademark in Australia. One common sticking point is simple: IP Australia requires an Australian address for correspondence — even when the volume of mail is low.

Need an Australian address for your IP work?

If you’re an overseas trademark attorney and just need a reliable Australian correspondence address with scanning included, Salt Space Virtual Office is a simple, low-admin solution.

Set up Virtual Office
What this article covers:
  • How a Virtual Office solves the “Australian address” requirement
  • How mail scanning + optional forwarding works for low-volume IP correspondence
  • Pricing and what to expect as an overseas professional

The problem: “We just need an Australian address”

Many international advisors don’t need a physical office in Australia — they simply need a reliable, legitimate Australian street address to receive official correspondence. In practice, that correspondence is often minimal, but having the address in place removes friction for your client and keeps your process tidy.

Who this is for

Typical profile

Overseas trademark attorney / law firm

  • Primarily operates outside Australia
  • Occasionally assists clients with Australian trademark matters
  • Needs an Australian correspondence address (low volume)
  • Prefers scanning over physical forwarding
Typical need

Compliance + convenience

  • Professional street address (not a home address)
  • Secure receipt of mail
  • Email visibility via scanning
  • Forward physical mail only when required

The solution: Salt Space Virtual Office (Brisbane street address)

Salt Space Coworking in New Farm, Brisbane provides a Virtual Office service that gives you a legitimate Australian street address suitable for professional correspondence. It’s designed to work well for international professionals who need address coverage without needing to physically operate here.

Included

Mail scanning included

When mail arrives, mail scanning is included as part of the Virtual Office service — ideal for low-volume correspondence where you mainly need visibility.

Optional add-on

Mail forwarding when needed

If you need physical documents sent overseas, mail forwarding is available as an add-on: $10 per trip to the post office + cost of postage.

Pricing (simple and predictable)

$40/month (AUD)

  • Virtual Office Plans: $240/6 months & $480/year (AUD)
  • Mail scanning: included
  • Mail forwarding (optional): $10 per trip to the post office + postage

This structure suits low-volume mail (like IP correspondence) because you only pay forwarding costs when you actually need it.

How it works in practice (for IP Australia correspondence)

  1. You use the Australian address for correspondence requirements where appropriate.
  2. Mail arrives at Salt Space and is logged/handled securely.
  3. Mail scanning is completed (included) so you can action items quickly.
  4. Only if required, we forward physical mail: $10 per post office trip + postage.

Need an Australian address for your IP work?

If you’re an overseas trademark attorney and just need a reliable Australian correspondence address with scanning included, Salt Space Virtual Office is a simple, low-admin solution.

Yes. Mail scanning is included as part of the Salt Space Virtual Office service.

Can you forward physical mail overseas if needed?

Yes. Mail forwarding is available as an optional add-on and is charged at $10 per trip to the post office + the cost of postage.

Is this suited to low-volume correspondence like IP Australia mail?

Yes. This setup works well when you receive mail infrequently and mainly need scanning, with forwarding only when required.

Do I need to visit Australia to use this service?

No — the service is designed to support remote and overseas professionals.
