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