A Day in the Life: How Members Use the Unlimited Pass

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.

2025 Guide

Pet‑Friendly Coworking in Brisbane: Where You Can Bring Your Dog

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.

Quick navigation

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.

Finally, a Brisbane Coworking Space That Includes Monitors

If you’ve ever tried working remotely from your laptop for long stretches, you already know: one screen isn’t enough. Neck strain, poor posture, slower multitasking, and reduced productivity are the price we pay for portability. But what if you could drop into a coworking space that already had everything you need—including a monitor, ready to go?

At Salt Space Coworking in New Farm, Brisbane, we’re offering something surprisingly rare in the coworking world: hot desks that come with monitors included. That’s right—no lugging gear, no bad angles, no café chaos. Just plug in, sit down, and get to work.

🔍 Why Most Coworking Spaces Don’t Include Monitors

If you’ve toured a few coworking spaces in Brisbane—or anywhere, really—you’ve likely noticed a trend. Most hot desk setups offer a desk, a chair, some Wi-Fi… and that’s about it. The assumption is: you bring your own laptop and peripherals.

So why is that a problem?

  1. Laptops aren’t ergonomic – The screen is too low, the keyboard is cramped, and prolonged use can lead to neck, shoulder, and back pain.
  2. Remote professionals often multitask – Juggling multiple tabs or apps on a single screen can slow down your workflow and increase mental fatigue.
  3. Bringing your own monitor is a hassle – For digital nomads, casual users, or anyone commuting on foot, carrying extra gear just isn’t practical.

That’s where Salt Space flips the script.

💡 Introducing Brisbane’s Hot Desks with Built-In Monitors

At Salt Space Coworking, we’ve outfitted our hot desk area with large monitors—ready for you to plug in and use, no booking required.

Here’s what that looks like:

  • ✅ 15 hot desks with monitors available daily
  • ✅ Monitors are HDMI and USB-C compatible
  • ✅ No additional cost—included with your day pass or membership
  • ✅ Ergonomic setup with adjustable seating
  • ✅ Fast Wi-Fi, printing, kitchen access, and natural light

Whether you’re in for a day or planning your workweek, we make sure your tools are already in place.

🚀 Who Benefits Most from Monitored Hot Desks?

These upgraded desks aren’t just a nice touch—they’re a productivity boost and a health upgrade for a wide range of professionals.

🎨 Creatives & Designers

Designers, photographers, and video editors often need accurate colour, bigger visuals, and better viewing angles. A monitor makes all the difference in visual work.

👩‍💻 Developers & IT Professionals

Switching between terminals, debugging, or writing documentation is infinitely easier with a second screen.

📊 Consultants, Analysts & Project Managers

Spreadsheet work, slide decks, browser research—dual screens save time and reduce tab overload.

🎒 Digital Nomads & Travellers

If you’re travelling light, the last thing you want is to carry a monitor. We take care of that for you.

🧍Casual Users & Day Passers

Even if you’re only in town for a day or two, you can work like a pro with our drop-in rate and ready-to-go setup.

💻 The Real Costs of Working Without a Monitor

Let’s break it down: working from a laptop may feel convenient, but there are hidden costs:

Problem Impact
Poor posture from low screen height Neck and shoulder pain
Reduced visual real estate Slower task switching
Increased fatigue Lower productivity
Inability to work effectively from cafés Noise, bad seating, no outlets
Transporting equipment Time and physical burden

Switching to a coworking space with monitors solves all of these with one simple move: sit down, plug in, and go.

👀 Comparison: Salt Space vs. Other Brisbane Coworking Spaces

Here’s what sets Salt Space apart from other coworking options in Brisbane’s inner suburbs:
