Running a business from home in New Farm, Teneriffe, Newstead, Fortitude Valley or anywhere in Brisbane City? One of the biggest challenges is looking professional online while protecting your privacy. A virtual office address solves both problems — and it can seriously boost your local SEO.
Google Business Profile (GBP) requires a real street address for verification. Without it, your business may never appear on Google Maps or local search results.
Why Local SEO Matters for Home Businesses
When customers search for “service + near me” or “service in New Farm,” Google relies on two key signals:
Your Google Business Profile address
Consistency of that address across online directories (citations)
If you only use a home address, you risk privacy issues and credibility gaps. A Salt Space Virtual Office gives you a professional address that works across Google, ASIC, ABN, IP Australia, websites, and more.
How Google Business Profile Verification Works
To list your business on Google Maps, you must verify your location. Google often requires:
Postcard mailed to your address
Or video verification showing signage and workspace
At Salt Space, we provide video verification support to make this process easy for home businesses. Once verified, you can rank in local searches for your target suburbs.

Registering a .au domain name or applying for an Australian trademark requires a valid Australian presence and an official Address for Service. If you’re running your business from home in New Farm, Teneriffe, Newstead, Fortitude Valley or elsewhere in Brisbane City, you may not want your personal address publicly available on ASIC, ABN, IP Australia, or AUDA records.
That’s where Salt Space Coworking’s Virtual Office service comes in. We provide a professional Brisbane street address you can use for compliance, trademarks, domains, and business visibility — all without leasing a physical office.

– Easy setup in minutes — same day service available.
Why You Need an Australian Address for .au Domains & Trademarks
The Australian domain authority (AUDA) requires businesses and individuals to have an Australian presence to register a .au domain. Similarly, IP Australia requires an Australian Address for Service to handle correspondence for trademarks, patents, and designs. This ensures that legal notices and important documents reach you reliably.
.au domains: AUDA eligibility requires a valid ABN/ACN and an Australian contact address.
Trademarks: Applications must include an Australian Address for Service for official correspondence.
Compliance: Addresses are published on WHOIS, ASIC, and IP registers — so privacy matters.
Virtual Office vs Home Address vs PO Box
Not all addresses are accepted equally. PO Boxes are usually not acceptable for domains and trademarks, while home addresses risk your privacy. A professional virtual office address solves both issues.

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,

Courier deliveries accepted (a common PO Box limitation).
Convenient pickup during staffed business hours.

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.
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 requirement
How 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.
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:
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
Place your laptop on the desk and keep the surface clear (ID, water if permitted).
Optional monitor: only use it if your rules permit external displays. If a single display is required, disconnect any second screen.
Adjust lighting so your face, hands and desk are clear on camera.
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).
You’re in a quiet, compliant room — start focused.
You’re welcome to arrive earlier
If you’d like extra time to connect to Wi-Fi, check your setup, or simply settle in, arrive earlier — we’re happy to accommodate to ensure a smooth start.

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.
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.
