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.
– Use our address for .au domain registration (AUDA eligibility).
– Get a compliant Address for Service for IP Australia trademark filings.
– Protect your privacy and keep your home address off public records.
– 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.
| Address Type | Accepted for .au Domains? | Accepted for Trademarks? | Privacy | Professional Image |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Home Address | Yes | Yes | ❌ Your details become public | ❌ Appears unprofessional |
| PO Box | ❌ Not accepted by AUDA | ❌ Often not accepted | ✅ Private | ❌ Not business-friendly |
| Salt Space Virtual Office | ✅ Accepted | ✅ Accepted | ✅ Home address stays private | ✅ Professional Brisbane image |
