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. This long‑form guide explains how pet‑friendly coworking works at Salt Space, when to choose a hot desk or a dedicated desk, what amenities to expect, and practical tips for a smooth first visit.
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.
