Need an Australian Address for IP Australia? A Virtual Office Built for Overseas Trademark Attorneys

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.

What this article covers:
  • 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

Typical profile

Overseas trademark attorney / law firm

  • Primarily operates outside Australia
  • Occasionally assists clients with Australian trademark matters

  • Prefers scanning over physical forwarding
Typical need

Compliance + convenience

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.

Included

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.

  2. Mail arrives at Salt Space and is logged/handled securely.
